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

Motherhood has never been a solo job—but our culture often treats it like one. In this episode of Builders of a Better World, we explore Mommune, a vision created by founder Marissa Merrill to make communal living for single moms and their children normal, accessible, and deeply supportive. It’s not just a housing idea; it’s a different blueprint for how we build families, communities, and a better world together.

What Is a Mommune?

A Mommune is a community‑oriented living model where women—especially single mothers—share space, resources, and responsibilities while raising their children. Instead of struggling alone in isolated apartments or unstable housing, moms live together in intentional environments designed for safety, collaboration, emotional support, and shared care work.

That might look like:

• Shared school drop‑offs, meals, and bedtime routines so no mom is “on” 24/7.
  

• Built‑in emotional support from other women who truly understand what it means to be in survival mode.
  

• A household culture that centers children’s wellbeing, stability, and joy.
  

At its core, Mommune challenges the myth that a “good mom” does everything alone. It replaces that myth with something older, wiser, and more sustainable: the village.

Why Single Moms Need Community Now

Single mothers are often managing unsafe relationships, financial precarity, and complicated legal systems on top of the daily work of raising kids. Many find that government support, when available, covers only the bare minimum—and almost never includes robust mental health resources, legal guidance, or long‑term safe housing options.

Mommunes respond to those gaps by focusing on:

• Stability: Safe, consistent housing so moms aren’t forced to choose between staying in harm’s way or becoming unhoused.
  

• Sustainability: Shared costs, shared labor, and shared emotional load so each woman has more capacity to work, heal, and parent.
  

• Dignity: A culture that honors mothers and children as full human beings, not cases to be managed.
  

Instead of asking, “Why doesn’t she just leave?” Mommune asks, “What would it take—practically, emotionally, and legally—for leaving to actually be possible and sustainable?”

A Blueprint, Not Just a Building

One of the most powerful parts of Marissa’s vision is that Mommune isn’t restricted to a single property type or location; it’s a blueprint that can be adapted to different spaces and communities. Her first Mommune property in Oregon, for example, is a former girls’ home on several acres, now being reimagined as a sanctuary where women and children can live, heal, and grow together.

The model can flex to:

• Large shared homes with individual rooms and shared common spaces.
  

• Small clusters of units or tiny homes around shared outdoor and communal areas.
  

• Repurposed buildings—like empty schools, malls, or resorts—transformed into multi‑family, community‑centered hubs.​​
  

Beyond the walls, though, the blueprint is about culture: shared values of consent, respect, mutual aid, healthy boundaries, and centering children’s daily lives in our decision‑making. It’s a way of life that says thriving is a community project, not an individual performance.

From Survival Mode to Thriving

Many moms living in isolation are stuck in survival mode—juggling work, court dates, childcare, healing from trauma, and the emotional labor of parenting, often without rest or backup. In that state, it’s nearly impossible to pursue creative dreams, career goals, or even basic self‑care, let alone feel like a full, vibrant human being.

Mommune aims to shift that trajectory by:

• Making day‑to‑day life more manageable through shared logistics and responsibilities.
  

• Freeing up pockets of time and energy for moms to work, create, rest, or just breathe.
  

• Giving children a rich environment with multiple caring adults and peers, so they feel safer, more supported, and less alone.
  

When mothers have support, kids get a different childhood—one with more stability, more joy, and more chances to simply be kids. That’s the deeper “better world” this movement is building toward.

Transcript:

Welcome to Builders of a Better World Podcast, a space for depth, clarity, and honest conversation, where presence matters more than performance. Let’s begin.

Ashlieya: Welcome back to the Collective meant to build a better world. We are builders of a better world. I have a really exciting guest with me today, my friend of many, many years, and also a partner in certain ways, because we have a mutual endeavor that is very important, and that is what we are here to talk about today.

Ms Marissa has birthed—pun intended—how would you describe it or define it? Go for it. You speak. Dive in. What is it?

Marissa: For the most part, it's an idea still. 

Ashlieya: We’re in the innovation stages, yes. Trademark has been purchased, however.

Marissa: Indeed, and approved.

Ashlieya: Yes. Very good. So do you have a way of describing it?

Marissa: My project is called Mommune. I didn’t make up the word, and I don’t claim to be the only one to have thought of it, but after becoming a single mom and being an artist, I realized there was a great need for more options and support for women and children, particularly single moms.

Ashlieya: So Marissa came to me and said, “I have this idea.” And I said, “That’s great, you have a bazillion ideas, tell me about this one.” And she said, “I would really love to do a Mommune.” And we had a little brief chat about it, and we’ve had a series of chats about it ever since.

For me, I went, “Hell yeah, I want to be involved. Let’s do this, let’s make this happen.” I come from the perspective of not necessarily being a mother, although I was a proud owner of a black pit bull for 14 years. But birthing children is not something I’ve experienced.

So, for me, this endeavor spoke to me from the perspective of being the child, and having had a mum that, arguably, could have mommed better. I love you mama. But she didn’t have a lot of support in any regard, and the challenge that was navigating a relationship with my father made it difficult, I think—to speak on her behalf—to be a proper mom.

When she was in positions of poverty—we’ll just get right into it—we didn’t have money for food sometimes. And government assistance only takes you so far, and it sure as heck doesn’t give you anything healthy. I cannot tell you how many ketchup sandwiches with sliced cheese on white Wonder Bread I ate as a child, or spoonfuls of margarine and sugar. Not proud of that, but yeah—five, six years old, you eat whatever is in the fridge, and we didn’t have very much.

I will never touch fish and chips—like a fish stick, frozen—I can’t do that ever, ever again. It was traumatic, what we were fed as kids. But my mom—point being—she didn’t have access to many resources. I don’t think many resources existed for her. And when she was in a position where she was needing to either remove us and put us in a safer situation because of my father and what that was like, she just didn’t have a place to go. So we—being Shia and I—stayed in situations that were out of survival, desperation. There was no family that rallied around her and provided her that safe place to go, or advisement, or a semblance of just love and encouragement. She didn’t really have any of that.

And because she didn’t have any of that, I didn’t have very much of that. I like to say now, upon reflection and maturing and resolving and healing, I’d like to say now, growing up, I had everything I needed, because I’m still alive, and I turned out okay. So therefore, my childhood wasn’t too bad. I’m like, it was okay, like sure—margarine and sugar, whatever, it’s fine.

But it could have been better. It could have been better. If my mother had had a proper support system or team, that sense of community, I may not have had to eat margarine and sugar for dinner. You know what I mean?

So when you came to me and said, “I have this idea,” I was like, “F___ yes, let’s do this,” so that, you know, in the name of support for the mums, absolutely—but therein a more adequate upbringing for kids is something that is possible. The healthier the mom, the better equipped she is to create an environment and foster that for healthy, happy children, I think.

So you come from the perspective of being the mum. 

Marissa: Yeah. 

Ashlieya: So, talk about that.

Marissa: Well, I mean, it’s always eye‑opening.

Ashlieya: Motherhood, you mean, or…?

Marissa: Yeah, for sure. Anyone going into parenthood has a lot of ideas about what kind of parent they’re going to be, and decisions they’re going to make, and rules they’re going to have. And when you’re met with it, you realize there’s not always all of those options available.

Your capacity to function with a full brain all the time and that full energy and full capacity to make the decisions that you, when not in that mindset, might make—then on top of that, being put in a survival situation—it’s impossible to be your best self and make the most of all your talents and everything that you do have access to when you’re in survival mode.

So I just wanted to provide a safe space for people to come together and live more efficiently, because it’s absolutely impossible to do by yourself. It doesn’t matter how much support you have, it’s so hard. The day‑to‑day, it’s hard enough for people to take care of themselves let alone another thing that is mostly helpless.

So I have a lot of empathy for moms. I grew up with people in different situations, and I heard stories—I’ve heard the story of your childhood before I was a mom. And I have different friends that had different horrible experiences and the choices that their moms had to make.

Having empathy for that, and going through the system, and seeing how few options there are, and why women either choose to stay silent or choose to stay in abusive situations—until you’re in that specific situation and circumstances, you can’t pass judgment on anyone’s choices.

Ashlieya: Oh yeah. 

Marissa: Because you really don’t know.

Ashlieya: “mom shaming,” we’ll call it—air quotes. There’s a lot of judgment that, just as a society, we tend to look at something and view something from our own perspective and point of view. It’s like a carnival mirror—you can’t see what’s actually there.

Not to get on the whole feminist, whatever—I mean, you know, women are subject to criticism constantly. And I feel like society is really quick to judge moms and judge their parenting—dads a bit less. So there’s a cynicism that I think is just there, and it’s perpetuated in the way society has been constructed to share their opinions about things, for better or for worse at times.

What we’re talking about is the fact that there are gaps, there are holes, right? You have a government that is helping in some way, and for some people, it helps, it does provide what they need.

So we’re talking about gaps, right? We have a government that has a certain design that is, in certain areas, aiding and helping. For some people, it provides what they need. Some people just need a little bit of assistance in the form of food stamps or help with employment, right?

I used to contract for the Department of Economic Security in Arizona. I helped people find and obtain employment. I helped them understand what kind of career‑exploration options there were, and I worked with adults, teenagers, people with disabilities—great program. It exists. Yay.

There’s certain welfare assistance for moms or kids. There’s not a lot of therapy. There’s not a lot of resources provided for women in situations where they’re subject to domestic violence or even emotional abuse. There aren’t a lot of provided outlets to aid in recovering from that, or healing from that, or dealing with that, or how to exit that.

Not to say that Mommune provides this, but I would really f___ing love to see a program that helps with exit strategy: “You want to leave your partner? We will help set you up, secretly or however, to get it so that you can leave.” So many women stay with their abusive partners simply out of the—like you were speaking about—it’s hard to do it on your own. It’s hard to do it when you have support from Grandma and Grandpa or a brother or a sister.

But having that spouse, that idea of partnership—I mean, we’re intended to be companion‑oriented beings. There’s that by itself. You put a woman in a situation where she’s got this young one, and it’s very—I can only imagine, speaking as someone who doesn’t have human children—I can only imagine how daunting that would be to try and do that completely on your own. Or even if “on your own” is just navigating day‑to‑day, even if you can drop them off on the weekend, that only helps so much.

So Mommune is intended to be something that fills in the holes where the government kind of lacks, right? It’s this philosophy that being more community‑oriented with your lifestyle can be that benefit when you’re needing your village. How many of us have heard the phrase “It takes a village to raise a child”? Mommune provides the village.

In a healthy environment that perpetuates this idea of inner growth and healing and safety so that your kids can be brought up in an environment where they can thrive and be the happiest little versions of their innocent selves, rather than having to grow up by the age of six because they’re experiencing all of this—I hate to say the word “trauma,” but that’s really real for some people. There are communities where there are kids raising kids.

Mommune could be a really good place for that situation to be as nurtured as it possibly can. The idea is to have mentors in place and resources in place, access to—if you’re comfortable talking about this from your personal perspective—but access to proper legal help. That’s huge, right? Custody battles, and understanding how to adequately navigate that, being able to access attorneys who either specialize in or have a more specific desire and urge, a call, to help women in those specific situations. That is a great resource that Mommune can provide.

Do you feel comfortable talking about a little bit of your own struggle with that?

Marissa: Yeah.

Ashlieya: Go for it. 

Marissa: We’ll get more specific. I get a little trauma‑brainy when I talk about this stuff—I forget what I’ve said.

Ashlieya: Well, talking about it is going to be what makes that better. And here, you have the safest space to be able to talk about that. So take your time. If you f___ up a phrase or a sentence, just start over again.

Marissa: Just prompt me and guide me back.

Ashlieya: Yeah, heck yeah. So in regards to talking about that component, pertaining to adequate resources when it comes to law professionals—i.e., attorneys—when you’re in situations and circumstances of something like a custody battle, or wanting to understand what your rights are as a parent and how you can navigate that separation from your spouse, there’s not a lot of aid in that.

And you’ve had your own personal experience with that being exceptionally difficult. Do you feel comfortable talking about that?

Marissa: Sure. Yeah. Looking back, you know, I come from a wealthy family. I’m a very privileged little white girl. So I didn’t have a lot of foresight when I decided to leave. I just got scared enough and made the decision pretty quickly. But I had money in the bank, and I had somewhere to go because I had family in town with room to take us in. I didn’t have a plan. I think all three are ideal, but you rarely have all three to work with. 

So yeah, the legal part—like I said, I had funds, I had somewhere to go. I had no clue the mess I was about to get into with family court.

And that’s partly out of being in a traumatized state when starting it, not being familiar with that world at all, not understanding the language. The lawyers wanting to help you—like, a lot of the good lawyers just want to help you stay out of that system because the system is so corrupt, and it’s expensive, and it takes a long time. And in a lot of situations, nobody wins. So it ends up just being a big waste of time and money.

Ashlieya: That tends to be the judicial system as a whole, from other experiences. I can certainly attest to that. But go on.

Marissa: So then, on top of just the daily life of being a single mom, people are also under financial stress and the additional stress of being in a lawsuit—not knowing how to navigate, trying to… The people that do speak up are often shamed into silence because if you don’t have adequate proof, physical proof—even if you do—the court system is very encouraging of a 50/50 custody plan.

Which is great, I would agree—if both people were healthy. But if one person tends to be more narcissistic, it just makes it that much more stressful for the healthy co‑parent, which puts more on their plate to manage on a day‑to‑day basis. And the day‑to‑day—that’s what I want Mommune to focus on, because that’s what matters to the kids as they’re getting older, very quickly. Their childhood really matters.

In my situation, I’ve spent my daughter’s entire childhood in family court and being pushed into a financial state I never, ever thought I’d be in, and not feeling like I have a lot of options to get out. So you end up sacrificing not only everything you naturally do as a mom to be a mom, but then having to sacrifice your dreams and just little things that make you happy on a daily basis and make you a healthy, functioning person. You don’t even have the time to think about it anymore.

So Mommune, I really… By combining our resources and our efforts, it just makes a much more efficient system. If I’m making dinner every night, or just the little day‑to‑day things—if you have somebody else covering that, it gives you a half hour to do something else, or just breathe.

But I also see it being so much more sustainable for all of society, not just the women and the children that live there. I think our society has been set up in the opposite direction, where profit and power are first. But if we put the day‑to‑day lives of our children—the children of the world—I believe all children belong to all of us, and we’re responsible for all of them, whether we gave birth to them or not.

Ashlieya: That’s beautiful.

Marissa: And if we were all to put their daily life first in all of our decision‑making, I very strongly believe that everything else would fall into place behind it and create a daily sustainability for all of us. It’s like a no‑brainer to me. It’s a domino effect.

Ashlieya: Excellent intention. That’s a really beautiful, next‑level semblance of mindfulness, which I love so much. That’s incredibly valuable, I think, what you just said.

I often have the thoughts—in being involved with developing Mommune, I often wonder, because sometimes I think about community living and I go, “Sharing space with people, having to see a group of people every day…” I go, “Oh, no.” But then I think, have I been conditioned to feel that way? Have I been encultured in this idea that independence has more value?

It’s almost as though, as a society, we’ve developed this sense of “Privacy is so important,” and there’s this idea that a household must be your own: there’s a wife and there’s a husband and it’s their life, and they’re to build it away from the mother‑ and father‑in‑law, and that’s somehow… It’s revered to have this sense of own oneness, which is just with yourself. “It’s my family, it’s my house, and it’s my life.”

I wonder, even with my own self, does my sought‑after privacy—like we talked about yesterday—you and I were out by my fire pit in my backyard, and we were celebrating that my yard is very enclosed, it’s very private. My whole back garden is just this little… I can run around naked, and I do. And I love that.

Marissa: As we all should.

Ashlieya: Right? And I wouldn’t do that if I shared space with, I don’t know, however many other people. So it’s this interesting thing. But I think to really try and create an ideal “utopian” life, I think there’s value in having a chapter of independence, and there has got to be f___ing value in having community when raising your kids, like we’re talking about.

When I have children, I really hope that I can surround them with what you just described—people who have the intention to serve their existence and the betterment of them developing as young little humans and therein prospering as adults. I don’t think I’ll want the same type of privacy, running around in my backyard naked, when I have two kids. I think I’m going to want people around so that I can have the help, and they can have the exposure and the support, and they can learn from these other beings that can teach them other things that I cannot. I think there’s so much value in that.

Marissa: Yeah, there’s more variety. And I strongly believe that it would allow for you to get that alone time and time away to do your things, that if you weren’t living in a community like that, you probably wouldn’t get on a daily basis.

So, I honestly thought of it because I work in film and didn’t want to give that up, and it requires travel, and I don’t want to disrupt my daughter’s daily life unless it’s necessary or exciting.

So I thought, the only way I can pursue my career and be a full, happy, functioning person myself and give everything I want to her on a daily basis is to live with other single moms. So if I get a job and I have to go and I can’t bring her, her daily life is pretty much the same. She just has that mom who’s there all the time anyway, taking her to school, and I’m gone for the weekend or something.

So it’s just less destructive for everybody, and everybody gets more time and access to the things that they need to be thriving individuals within the community. And I’m an introvert; my alone time is very important to me. That has been a hard part of becoming a mom—not knowing that I’m going to get those two uninterrupted hours in the morning to do the things that I know I need to be my best self every day.

If you’re not getting that day after day after day after day after day, you’re just slipping more into survival mode and can’t thrive. I believe each of us as individuals have unique gifts to bring to the world, and if we’re in survival mode, we just can’t do it. And there are so many women… I mean, the way our society has been set up, so few of us have had the opportunity to share our full worth and value and talents with the world.

I think women and children—well, we often regard them as property. I’ll get on ageism too. But I think that children have so much to offer. We’re not waiting for them to be adults to have something to offer the world. That’s ridiculous. I have so many friends that have died way too young for that to be, you know…

Ashlieya: Yeah, yeah.

Marissa: So, I think each individual can be more their full self because of the community, and you get more privacy and the things you need as an individual because you have that support.

Ashlieya: That’s something I think we need to shout from the rooftops, because I think people hear “community living” and they think lack of privacy. And that’s not necessarily what we’re saying. There’s a balance to be had and there’s a bit of both. It’s just the idea that you have support around you, amongst where you live.

And so it’s not like sharing a bathroom with ten other women, because I would not… I don’t want to share a bathroom with anybody—not even my own husband. I’m like, “Get out of here.” And you said something a couple of years ago that really resonated with me, and I hadn’t heard another woman describe it that way, so I felt like that was a really brilliant affirmation for me in my life.

You had said, “I need to live in a space where I don’t have to worry about someone else coming in the room every once in a while.” And that resonated with me so completely. So we’re two self‑proclaimed introverted, very independent women, and we’re celebrating that, and we’re celebrating this idea that if you’re going to thrive independently for yourself, living in a f___ing village might be where we need to be—and that seems counterintuitive, yet it’s not, right?

This idea of having ample social accessibility amongst like‑minded individuals, I think, is extremely undervalued and understated. Having that collective approach to raising your children—why anyone would ever want to do that any other way, I have no idea. But then again, just in a society where you’re provided ample resources to think, be, and do in any way that serves your highest and best self—that’s what Mommune is. That’s what Mommune is intended to be. Right? So f___ing beautiful.

What else do you want to say or share?

Marissa: I thought of something when you were talking, but I forgot it.

Ashlieya: It’ll come back to you.

Marissa: Oh—I was thinking there can be so many different models and types. It totally depends on the property. I bought my first Mommune property in Oregon, and it’s an old girls’ home. It used to house foster children because there’s a really good school in that area, so it was a chance for these girls to go to a better high school.

So it’s a huge 4,000‑square‑foot, two‑level house with just a bunch of rooms and eight and a half acres. I have all different ideas and ways to split that up so that people can get their privacy and be there as a community. For me personally, like we were talking about outdoor privacy and communing with nature—that’s really healing and important for me. So that’s why I’ve picked my locations to be out in the woods.

But I can also see it being like a trailer park, you could do an apartment building, you could do… All these malls are just empty and they don’t know what to do with them anymore. Years ago I had the thought to make them community centers, where women and children can live there, and then there’s this hub where you can go work and play and learn—instead of shopping. Or that, too.

Ashlieya: When I went to Thailand, even Vietnam—Vietnam especially—there are so many abandoned resorts that are just sitting there unfinished and vacant. As we were going through some of these areas, I was like, “Oh my God, if I had the means, I would absolutely just buy this property and turn it into a community‑living space,” because it’s beautiful. That would be lovely.

It can be an international movement, it’s a philosophy, it’s a way of life, is what we’re proposing.

Marissa: Yep. Yeah. I’m calling it the Mommune Movement, and I want to build and normalize it so that it’s not a weird… I don’t know. So many people—actually, okay, a lot of married women are very drawn to this idea. I think just having a safe place away from men’s gaze is something we don’t have.

And I’m not—I love men—but there’s just something to having a place where that’s just not even a thought that we have to entertain.

Ashlieya: Well, that goes back to—not to nerd out on history and the evolution of humans as a society—but originally, right, we were divided. Females had these roles and responsibilities, males had these roles and responsibilities, and we weren’t paired individually with partners. Very often women took multiple male mates. A lot of time was spent women amongst women in what they provided the tribe or the village or the kingdom.

You have a harem of women that most of the time are just hanging out, spending time with each other. There were certain aspects to that that obviously felt completely natural because that was the origin and how things organically developed—for whatever reason or purpose at the time, that was the way things naturally were.

So I think there’s something to you having that instinct or desire or urge. It could be primal, it could be out of a need for something that you’re not currently getting or receiving. Do you have an indication as to which one it might be? Do you think it’s due to—I don’t want to use the word “lack”—but do you think it’s due to something that you’re lacking in your life, or do you think it’s something that you’re just feeling innately called to being a part of—or both, perhaps? 

Marissa: Mommune in particular? 

Ashlieya: Wanting to be around a collective of women outside of a male gaze, to what you say.

Marissa: Yeah, well, I think I felt more that way shortly after leaving…

Ashlieya: Leaving your husband, to be specific.

Marissa: Yeah, leaving my ex‑husband. How can I word this where I don’t get in legal trouble? After leaving abusive situations, I think women need that space to heal. I just noticed, about myself, I was very triggered by any man trying to talk to me. I became extra sensitive to anything that could be or lead to… I just wanted to be left alone. I wanted to wear baggy clothes and not wear makeup. I just didn’t want that attention at all.

Ashlieya: Sure, sure. Do you foresee—speaking to that point—do you foresee Mommune being more of a rehabilitation, temporary situation, to allow yourself to be in that state, or do you foresee it being more of a long‑term living situation?

Marissa: I would love for it to be both, because the current resources are usually temporary, and I have learned that these situations are not so temporary. So I would love to provide a place where people can come in for whatever they’re needing, and if they feel that they want to stay the rest of their lives, amazing.

I’d love to have a network of them so that more women and children can travel. You could have a membership and, you know, it’s like Airbnb, but you’re always staying at a Mommune. That would be cool.

It’d be a great thing to set up a system where women can invest and build their personal nest egg, if you will, and always have that to fall back on. So if you’re in college and you invest in a Mommune, whether you live in it or not, and then you decide to get married or whatever, you either have that to pull from or you have it to fall back on if you should be in the terrible situation where you do need somewhere to go.

Ashlieya: Interesting. 

Marissa: And then I also can’t help but picture a Mommune musical. 

Ashlieya: “Mommune: The Musical.” That’s always comically hilarious. Okay, wow. Cool. 

So—we need donations. Mommune needs donations. Your call to action would be: if you feel it is on your mind or in your heart to donate, there’s a link below that will give you the access to be able to donate directly to Mommune. So please do that. Help us build a better world by creating Mommunes.

Marissa: We also have a storefront. If you are a woman maker of any sort, we’d love to host your goods on our site. 

Ashlieya: Yes, and sell them through the Mommune storefront.

Marissa: Mommune Market. 

Ashlieya: Yes, that link will be posted below as well. Okay, well, thank you so much for sharing. I know it’s… 

Marissa: Thanks for having me.

Ashlieya: It’s very vulnerable to talk about.

Yeah. But we’re here to build a better world. Let us know if you’d be interested in staying in a Mommune, and I would super love to hear in the comments, or if you want to send me a DM.
