5. Mommunes as a Better World Blueprint: Community Living for Single Moms

In this episode of Builders of a Better World, host Ashlieya interviews Marissa Merrill, founder of the Mommune movement, about community living for single moms and their kids. They dive into what a “mommune” is, how shared housing and co‑living support single mothers, and Marissa’s real experience with domestic abuse, the family court system, and building her first Mommune property in Oregon. If you’re a single mom, co‑parent, or advocate for women’s shelters, affordable housing, trauma‑informed support, and village‑style parenting, this conversation will show you how intentional community can help moms and children truly thrive.Links mentioned:https://www.mommune.org/ - Learn more about Mommune.
