SFN Dad to Dad 285 - Florence Ann Romano of Hinsdale, IL Author Of 'Build Your Village' & Sibling To A Brother With Autism
45m · Published
Our guest this week is Florence Ann Romano of Hinsdale, IL a village and child care advocate, entrepreneur, author of two books and the oldest of four siblings, including a brother with Autism.
Florence Ann served as a nanny for more than 15 years, which led to a variety of opportunities including; starting the web series The Windy City Nanny , which covered the lives of 12 families, her first book entitled ' Nanny and Me' and more than 200 speaking engagements.
She also founded Kindred Content, a woman-owned digital content company, more recently acquired by Yakkety Yak , where she is a Vice-President of Business Strategy.
Florence's second book is 'Build Your Village: A Guide to Finding Joy and Community in Every Stage of Life' which was published earlier this year. In it we learn about the six types of villagers everyone can benefit from as well as strategies for building meaningful and healthy relationships.
We’ll hear about Florence’s fascinating life, including: the influence of her faith, her Nana & Papa, the relationship with her dad (and mom), her volunteer and philanthropy efforts, her experience with IVF and the influence that Michael, her younger brother with Autism, has had on her life and beyond.

SFN Dad to Dad 284 - Wil Derouen of Seattle, WA A Certified Peer Counselor With Dads M.O.V.E. And Father Of Five Including One With ADHD
43m · Published
Our guest this week is Wil Derouen of Seattle, WA who is a Peer Support Counselor at Dads M.O.V.E. and father of five boys including one with ADHD.

Wil's story is rather remarkable including some serious ups and downs. Wil is like a phoenix that has risen from the ashes. He served three years of a five year sentence from 2008 to 2011 in state prison on a felony conviction of conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance. He was released two years early for good behavior, which included working with other inmates to create resumes and develop job-rediness skills.
In his role as a Peer Support Counselor at Dads M.O.V.E. ( M entoring O thers through V oices of E xperience), Wil is uniquely qualified to work with a wide range of dads, including incarcerated dads and others who have felony convictions.
The mission of Dads M.O.V.E., established in 2011, is to strengthen the father's role in raising children with behavioral health needs through education, peer support and advocacy.
We’ll hear Wil’s story of tragedies and triumphs as well as redemption on this episode of the SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.

48m · Published
Our guest this week is Tim Coughlin a U.S. x-Pat in London, England who works at Morgan Stanley as head of the Commodity and Infrastructure Finance Group for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Tim and his wife, Jennifer, have been married for eight years and are the proud parents of two young girls: Alice (4) and Edith (2), who was diagnosed with BBSOAS or Bosch-Boonstra-Schaff Optic Atrophy Syndrome, a very rare neurological disorder caused by a disruption in the NR2F1 gene.
Tim was born and raised in Basking Ridge, NJ. Jennifer is from England and worked in the U.S. at UBS for 15 years, before taking a leave of absence a year ago.
We learn about how the couple has navigated their new world of disability and some of the organizations that have played an important role, including: the NR2F1 Foundation, Combined Brain and UK-based Small Steps, in SW London.
It's a heartwarming story about a young couple, their commitment to family and serving the community at-large.

SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."
SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.

Dad to Dad 278 - Adam Birchmeier of Muskegon, MI Whose Daughter With Angelman Syndrome, Very Sadly Passed Away In August
53m · Published
Our guest this week is Adam Birchmeier of Muskegon, MI who is a Business Sales Representative with Access Health and the father of daughter with Angelman Syndrome, who very sadly passed away in August, after a brief illness.
Adam and his wife, Nicole, have been married for 4 years and are the proud parents of Maddie who was born in June 2020, was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome at 18 months and who, very sadly, passed away in August, shortly after her third birthday.
We also learn about Maddie's Joy, the blog and podcast Adam created to reflect on the family's Angelman Syndrome journey. Most touchingly, on the September 15, 2023 podcast, Adam read the eulogy he gave Maddie at her funeral.
While Maddie's passing is very sad, Adam and Nicole find some solace in knowing that Maddie had (and continues to have) a positive impact in the lives of others, through Gift-Of-Life organ donation, and despite her short presence on this earth.
We’ll hear all about Maddie, her smile and how her infectious spirit lives on. That’s all on this Special Fathers Network Dad to Dad Podcast.
