I'm Adopted, Now What?

Welcome to I’m Adopted, Now What? A podcast for those who want to redefine what it means to be adopted, one chat at a time. If you love talking about feelings, self development, and self discovery, if you want to discuss race, culture, and identity, if you ask yourself, Who Am I? What Is My Identity? Why Haven’t I Figured This Out Yet?… Then you’re in the right place, because adopted or not, we all ask ourselves these universal questions. So, are you ready to get real, get deep, and figure out… now what? Join me and let’s find out together!

    Welcome to the Shitshow: Getting Personal on Power, Politics, and Being A Parent

    In this debut episode, I’m just laying it all out there—because, honestly, where do we even start? From the nightmare of denaturalization (seriously, who thought that was a good idea?) to the endless attacks on abortion rights, it’s clear: men in power are obsessed with control, and it’s exhausting. This is less of a polished talk (and advanced apologies for any gaffs in editing/sound... I'm a bit rusty) and more of a brain dump about how the current political chaos is impacting families, women, and anyone who isn’t straight, white, and male. Adoption doesn’t exist in a bubble, and this political climate shapes the way we think about identity, rights, and belonging. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, pissed off, or just plain tired of the constant attacks on basic human rights and the less-than-milk-toast news coverage of it—this one’s for you. Let’s vent, question, and maybe scream into the void together.
