Ep. 149: The Problems with Adoption

Alex takes on a solo episode to chat about the importance of intentionality in all aspects of our life as adults, and how not prioritizing our desires can be so detrimental to our wellbeing. 

Social worker, parent, and adoptee, Breanna (@themomsocialworker), discusses her adoption experience as a young person and her journey of self-discovery and identity. She highlights the importance of being intentional as a parent, and the need for institutions to listen to the voices of adoptees.

 

Listener questions are answered in the mailbag segment, hitting topics like questioning medical advice, Nick Cannon, and so much more!
