We continue our conversation about adoption with two Indian adoptive mommas, Anna Marie & Kelsey Kirkegaard. In this episode, we talk about our adoption processes.  Although we have each adopted from India, each of our journeys were very different! Anna and Kelsey generously share their stories and you see the fierce hearts of adoptive mommas, as they work to bring their children home.

This is a sacred conversation and I hope your heart is encouraged by the heart of these adoptive mommas. 

Round two of our conversation with Anna Ptak, ethical fashion designer, overcomer, and adoptee. On this episode, Anna opens up about her adoption, hardships of growing up in a broken home, and her advice for adoptive parents.  This is a raw and hard conversation, but good!  

In this episode, I talk to my new friend, Anna Ptak about her work in the fashion industry, why she feels it is important to purchase from and support companies employing "over-comers," and she teaches me a little about fashion forecasting. Anna is an overcomer herself.  She mentions it a few times in the show, but does not dive into that part of her story. If you would like to hear more about this part of her story, please check out the wonderful interview Still Being Molly did with her awhile back. 

We couldn't get enough of our conversation with Latoya Tucciarone from Sustainable Home Goods. So, here we go for another week. This week, we are not just talking about justice, but race specifically. Y'all!  At one point, Latoya just starts preaching and I might have cried while editing this show. I believe this conversation is going to open some eyes, touch  the hearts of women who have been aching to talk about this, and give you some practical steps to move forward in "the good work," as Melissa calls it!

If you do not feel ready for this conversation right now, it's okay. We hope you will be soon. Please just wait until you feel ready and open. 

Welcome back, friends!!  Pull up a seat to the table and get to know the awesome human that is Latoya Tucciarone.  Look, you're welcome!!  I'll just say that now, because you are going to LOVE her and want to be her best friend. We have split this conversation into two episodes, because we talked SOOO long.  Bless her for hanging with us.  Part one, we are just getting to know Latoya, her business, and family.  ENJOY!!
