Hi! My name is Zaina and welcome back to the In Progress podcast! Today I talk all about this concept of creating a village, which essentially is building and growing your community. Day to day life can feel so busy and heavy sometimes so having a reliable support system that fosters a consistent exchange of goods and favors can help make life feel just a little lighter. As they say, it really takes a village!
