Join Elle as she explores the disappearance of "the village" in modern motherhood. In this thought-provoking episode, Elle delves into why mothers in the United States are facing an unprecedented social support crisis, contrasting today's isolated parenting with traditional communal child-rearing practices. Drawing from personal experience growing up in a village-style community and backed by research on collective parenting across cultures, Elle examines how industrialization and shifting social values have contributed to the dissolution of supportive networks for mothers. She challenges the modern emphasis on rugged individualism and advocates for rebuilding meaningful community connections to support mothers in their parenting journey.
