Show Notes
In today’s episode, Dr. Gertrude is joined by author and childcare advocate, and former nanny, Florence Romano. Florence is a former nanny of 15 years, a proud member of the Board of Directors at the Children’s Research Fund, founding member of Sesame Street’s Leadership Council, and looks after the honorary kids in her life on the daily. She believes in the power of community, asking for help, and letting love in. This conversation is a cathartic, inspiring, and true example of what rewriting the mother code is all about.
