Description

Pushing back against a system which feels designed to keep parents isolated and exhausted, Latched Mama founder, Melissa Wirt shows moms how to build a supportive "village" to bring joy and connection back to motherhood.

Melissa Wirt thought she had everything-she'd built her own company and moved to a beautiful farm with her family. Then during a personal crisis, she realized: despite having created an online community reaching thousands of moms, she'd also somehow, become utterly isolated.

In I Was Told There'd Be a Village, Melissa describes how she began making small changes-leaving behind a damaging Isolation Mindset and developing an advantageous Village Mindset. Using personal anecdotes and stories from moms across the country, this book provides specific, actionable steps to transform oppressive, solitary parenting into a connected, collective (even joyful) endeavor.
