We’re back in the studio for a relaxed, unfiltered catch-up! In this episode, Madison and Jolie let the conversation flow—recapping the Birth Mom Dinner, sharing life updates, talking about our growing intern/practicum team, and giving a peek behind the scenes at our social revamp.

Yes, there are side quests—Texas road-trip drama, boots that hurt, our running “oranges” lore, and some TV talk—but there’s real heart, too: why we built this platform, how we’re shaping internship culture, and our hope to feature every voice in the adoption world—birth parents, adoptees, adoptive parents, foster folks, and professionals.

Note: This episode was recorded earlier, so a few event mentions may be out of date.This week, we’re sharing a “from the archives” episode a relaxed, unfiltered conversation where we let the mic run and followed the flow wherever it led. It’s less structured than usual (with plenty of side quests ), but we dive into some really important and relatable topics along the way—like pregnancy cravings, empathy and social responsibility, women’s health, and health care disparities. Some of the event details we mention are no longer current, but the heart of the discussion is still very relevant. It’s real, it’s honest, and it reminds us that sometimes the best conversations happen when you just let it flow.Don't Forget to Keep Up With Us!
