    Episode 086: I Was Told There'd Be a Village with Melissa Wirt

    Melissa Wirt is CEO of Latched Mama and author of the book I Was Told There’d Be a Village, a book for moms by a mom. In her own words, here is her story: “Hi, I’m Melissa, mom of six, CEO of Latched Mama, and someone who’s in the deep trenches of motherhood right beside you. Motherhood is beautiful, messy, exhausting, and sometimes so lonely it hurts. When I became a mom, I was told there’d be a village, but what I found was a journey I had to figure out on my own."After eight year of building this brand, I knew I needed to do more to help moms feel seen. This book is my heart on paper—filled with stories, humor, and hard-earned lessons from my own motherhood journey. It’s for the moms who feel like they’re doing it all alone, for the moms searching for connection, and for the moms who just need to know they’re enough."I wrote this book because I wish I’d had it during my hardest days as a mom. It’s my way of reminding you that you don’t have to do it all or be everything to everyone. You’re enough, just as you are.” You can also find Melissa on Instagram. Hosted by Dr. Sheryl Ziegler.

    Jessica Joelle Alexander is the creator of Raising Digital Citizens, which is designed to "help families foster more meaningful relationships based on what researchers clearly confirm is the very best protection for children in the digital world: conversations." Talking together about values in the online world and making a bond based on trust, not fear, is one of the best long term investments in a child’s safety a family can make. Most parents have no idea how to even begin to cover everything when discussing digital citizenship. This is exactly why Raising Digital Citizens’ conversation cards were created: to help you cover all the important topics in a fun, hands-on way so you can ensure your child knows what to do in any situation even when you aren’t there to protect them. The cards are followed up by a personalizable agreement, ongoing support, guidance and lots of cutting edge research and tools to help you evolve together with understanding and respect, not distance and hostility. You can find Jessica at her site here. You can find Raising Digital Citizens here. Hosted by Dr. Sheryl Ziegler.
