Melissa Wirt recounts her journey and dozens of others in building a supportive “village” to transform oppressive, solitary motherhood into a connected—even joyful—endeavor. Melissa Wirt thought she had everything—she’d built her own company and moved to a beautiful farm with her family. In I Was Told There’d Be a Village, Melissa leads us through the small changes she made to seek out connection. That journey starts with an intentional shift from an isolation mindset to a village mindset. But it can be much bigger, eventually growing into a thriving, supportive community.
