576. Building Your Village: Finding Joy, Connection, and Purpose with Florence Ann Romano
Description
What does it really mean to have a village and how do we build one in today’s world of disconnection and busyness?
On this episode of Daily Influence, host Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with Florence Ann Romano, nationally recognized keynote speaker, media personality, and author of Build Your Village: A Guide to Finding Joy and Community in Every Stage of Life. Florence Ann shares her journey from nanny to author and thought leader, and why she believes we are not meant to do life alone.
In this conversation:
• The six archetypes of villagers and how to identify who’s in your circle (and who might be missing).
• Why vulnerability, reciprocity, and service are essential to authentic connection.
• The biggest myths about friendship and why asking for help is not a weakness.
• Practical steps for overcoming isolation and finding your place in community.
Florence Ann reminds us that connection doesn’t happen by accident, it’s a choice we make daily. Whether you’re seeking deeper friendships, building support systems, or simply wanting to show up better for others, this episode will inspire you to become a more intentional villager.
