It is my first school snow day in years and also it has been a minute since recording an episode. I got all dolled up (put some red lips for the camera) and reflected on growth/ change.

I know we all process our adoption and feelings toward identity and relationships we develop in various ways. It is a good sign of growth for me that I have a better relationship with famiy and also understand how all relationships can change.

Olivia found out about the podcast thanks to Nanchang project. We sat down prior to October 2025 and talked about research, study, and working as Pre- K educator.

Some cursing shared 50minutes in.

Enjoy our debrief on Summer I turned Pretty and other YA stories (apologies for the spoilers if you are watching). I was also surprised Olivia is the younger adoptee sibling and has an older adoptee sister from China and a younger sister who is biological to their parents. It was a lot of fun and we both joined the Nanchang 5k project back in October.

I went to Central park for an event and couldn’t find my friends. It’s not a long long story but I ended up meeting Hannah thanks to this adventure to the park. Hannah is currently pursuing studies and almost done and we talked about differing perspectives from a generation apart on the Asian culture boom. Find @hannahrose.mcguire on IG.
