We’re all familiar with the saying “it takes a village”—meaning that for children to grow in a safe and healthy environment, they need to feel supported by an entire community.

Yet when the global lockdowns heightened feelings of loneliness and isolation, Florence Ann Romano had a realization: our villages take us well beyond our childhoods. In fact, it’s been found that those with a strong community and support system are living longer than those without.

Today, Florence Ann guides us through how to build lasting and meaningful connections that define the grounding foundation in your village.

You’ll leave this conversation inspired to build your village, let love in, and gain the courage to ask for help.
