Thanks for being real

My niece told me about your podcast a couple years ago. I downloaded and listened then life got in the way.
Came back to it during our COVID 19 “stay at home” time and I love it!
You are both so real and honest.
We are foster (not adopt) parents and have experienced many of the same type questions - from nosey to genuine , some of the same experiences - two moms, and unfortunately the complex trauma behaviors.

It does not look like you are continuing, and that’s ok. New things come up. I would love to get access to episodes 13-30
I downloaded 1-12 and 31-33
I cannot seem to figure out how to get the missing episodes. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your delightful dialogue. I truly enjoyed them all.

They keep things real

I have been binging on this podcast over the past couple weeks. I love listening to you both. I love hearing about your family, your dogs, your ups and downs. Your personalities and stories are so relatable. I love how “real” you keep it. I never knew much about foster care and enjoy learning about it more through the stories about your family. I don’t even know you, but I’m so happy for you and your kids!
