Parenting Without a Village: How Modern Families Can Cope

​Raising kids used to come with built-in backup. A grandmother nearby, a neighbour who noticed things, aunties who appeared with advice, snacks, or both. For a lot of parents now, that setup has been replaced by two exhausted adults, a calendar that looks mildly hostile, and a phone full of unread messages. So where do you find support when the village is missing, patchy, or living in another country?

​Join Spondle on YouTube for a lively conversation with Yetty Williams, founder of LagosMums, certified parenting and life coach, and author of Digital Savvy Parenting. Yetty knows what it means to parent without a ready-made support system, and what it takes to build one on purpose. We’ll talk about her journey from being an isolated mum in Lagos to creating a parenting platform that reaches millions, and what she’s learned about finding real connection online without getting swallowed by comparison, noise, and endless advice from strangers with ring lights.

​We’ll also dig into what parenting can look like in a world that is busy, digital, and permanently overstimulated. Expect practical ideas, honest reflections, and the kind of conversation that makes you feel a little less alone and a little more capable. If your household is currently being held together by one person’s mental load, a shared notes app, and vibes, come along with your questions. This is a conversation, not a lecture.
