Florence Ann Romano is the author of Build Your Village: A Guide to Finding Joy and Community in Every Stage of Life. She was born and raised just outside of Chicago where she spent more than fifteen years as a childcare provider, during which time she was known as the Windy City Nanny. I wanted to have her on the show because I really appreciate the way she translates the idea of needing a village to all life stages, situations and circumstances. She wears many hats that no doubt contribute to her unique perspective and expertise. In addition to being an author, she is a personal growth strategist, philanthropist, and businesswoman. She is on the board of directors at the Children’s Research Fund, a nonprofit called Female Strong that provides programs and mentorship to middle and high school age girls, and she is a founding member of the Sesame Street’s Leadership Council.
