This was such an energizing and illuminating convo!
My guest is:
Founder Melanie Hekkelman-Piazza came up with the idea for Family Village in response to raising an infant and 3 year-old while also caretaking her terminally ill mother (in a town she'd just moved to). Fueled by desperation, isolation and rage, she gathered like-minded mothers and set to work building the space of her dreams. Within six months, the doors were open and lives were being changed. Six years and more than 250 families later, Family Village continues to buck the status quo of childcare and parenting norms to bring families the work-life balance they crave.
We talked about:
~ A win-win-win + what Melanie brings to the spaces she leases
~ Why Melanie started Village Coop
~ Sacred rage
~ Mothering + entrepreneurship
~ The million dollar question about how mothers chose to invest in themselves vs investing in others/things outside them
~ Melanie’s own entrepreneurship journey
~ Doing entrepreneurship intuitively/”unprofessionally”
