Thanks to @Severancemag for hosting our thoughts on listening to each other in #Adoption Land. Pleasure to collab w @saraeasterly & Kelsey of @birthmompodcast.

[Severance Magazine @Severancemag]

Everyone needs a place in the adoption conversation. Listen to three women—an adoptee, a birth mom, and an adoptive mom—share their perspective. Thanks @saraeasterly @LavLuz @birthmompodcast.

Birthdays can be emotional and exhausting days for birth moms, and everyone handles them in different ways. Ashley and Kelsey dive into discussion about how our bodies hold trauma around these milestones, and how it affects us as birth moms.
