In this episode, Brooke sits down with Jess Lindgren to explore what it means to be a deeply involved, child-free adult in a family-centered world. Jess shares how embracing the role of a “professional auntie” and neighborhood safe adult has created meaningful connection, community, and joy without becoming a parent. Together, they discuss boundaries, respect, and how extended family and friends can support parents without overstepping. This conversation is a refreshing reminder that strong villages are built intentionally, and there’s more than one way to nurture the next generation. Click HERE to access today’s shownotes.
