At the core, I have an obsession with human potential, authentic connections and social change.
I grew up in the north of Denmark, in a family full of entrepreneurs. I was the local blacksmith’s "boy". It was the 70s and the women around me were all in the process of leaving their stay-at-home mom roles. I was deeply aware of my mother and her friends’ struggles to do it all, and the disconnect it had on us children. I found connection and meaning by reading anything about systems change, community health and women's history, trying to find a lifeline to meaning and answers to being a mom, a business owner and making a change without losing myself and burning out.
Our project mission is to bring back, in a new way, a sense of connection, belonging and sustainable living on all levels. By doing so, we hope to do our part in tackling financial inequality, loneliness, health, housing, and the environmental crisis.

We are a Montreal-based community-building & co-living platform an airbnb/ match.com model for short to long term family-like homesharing where families are matched with other parents striving to build meaningful neighbourhood connections, curb isolation, tackle the housing crisis, and create possibility, with features and a culture that facilitate and deepen in-person safe connections for families, especially single parents and newcomers feeling burned out and alone, where they can give and receive trusted and reliable family-like support, fostering a real sense of belonging . . . one neighbourhood at a time. We are a social enterprise, both online and in-person, in collaboration with D3 Innovation Hub. We wish to facilitate healthy, resilient, sustainable living between families and take the guesswork out of community building. We presently have a pilot of 370 families in a closed Facebook group and are now ready to transition off of that platform onto our own online community and App. We will soon be launching our new branding and social media presence. ----->>> Here is a presentation that further details what we are and what we do: LINK
