What if you don’t have to be a parent to shape a child’s life? In this episode, we explore a powerful idea: Influence isn’t defined by biology—it’s defined by presence.

After volunteering to give a new mom a few uninterrupted hours off, one unexpected afternoon—complete with newborn spit-up and a very nervous first-time baby holder—sparked a realization: you don’t have to wait for marriage or kids of your own to become a fierce, loving, consistent role model.

Listen in as we explore the shift from waiting for a title to embracing responsibility now—from “maybe someday” influence to intentional, everyday impact. Because you don’t need to be Mom or Dad to change a life. Sometimes you just need to show up.

💡 What You’ll Learn: • Why influence isn’t limited to parents • The power of being a safe, trusted adult in a child’s life • How small acts of service create lifelong impact • Why you don’t have to wait for the “right season” to lead • What it looks like to love and protect kids who aren’t your own

🛠️ Action Step: Ask yourself, “What kind of adult did I need when I was younger?” Then identify one child or family in your world you can intentionally support this month—whether that’s babysitting, mentoring, encouraging, or simply showing up consistently.

📌 Perfect For: • Adults without children who want to make a difference • Aunts, uncles, mentors, and family friends • New parents building their support system • Anyone who believes community helps raise great kids • Those ready to lead and influence—right now, not someday
