Building a Community When You Have No Family Support

You don’t need a village. You need the right people.

When people say “It takes a village,” I nod politely. But the truth is, not everyone has a village. Some of us are raising kids, managing meltdowns, juggling jobs, and trying to heal generational trauma — all without the safety net of family support.

If that’s you, I see you. And I want to remind you: You can still build your own community from scratch.
