Listen "To Have a Village, You Have to Be a Villager — To Have Support, You Need to Be a Supporter"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textCommunity doesn’t just appear out of thin air. You have to build it, nurture it, and sometimes even lead it. This episode continues from our last conversation — “Inconvenience Is the Price You Pay for Community”, diving deeper into what it really means to create your own village in today’s world.Everyone talks about wanting “their people,” but few talk about the effort it takes to become one of those people first. To have a village, you have to be a villager. Someone who checks in, shows up, organizes, forgives, and takes initiative even when no one else does. I’m sharing stories from my own life about the moments I had to be the first one to call, the one who held the group together, and how sometimes leadership in friendship looks less like authority and more like emotional labor, patience, and presence.In this episode, we explore why having a village matters more than ever, not just for emotional support, but for perspective, accountability, and growth. Your village is the circle that reminds you who you are when you forget, that calls you out with love, that celebrates your smallest wins when the world doesn’t notice. It’s what softens the loneliness of adulthood, keeps you grounded during chaos, and reminds you that independence doesn’t mean isolation.We’ll talk about how to start building that village from scratch, how to lead without controlling, and how to sustain genuine connections in a time where everyone is “too busy.” Because the truth is, having a village isn’t luck it’s a skill, a practice, and a commitment to being the kind of person you wish you had around you.
