Now that I'm a grown ass adult, I'm starting to realize how much of an affect my childhood has had on me. Even though I love my upbringing and wouldn't change it for the world, I now recognize how much my parent's external words became my internal voice.

So today we're chatting about how we can be a better communicator to preteens, teenagers and pretty much anyone who's going through a difficult season.

I shine a light on vulnerable youth in this episode, so tune in to see how you can intentionally communicate with preteens and teenagers who are going through the foster care system, adoptions, abuse, neglect, depression and/or anxiety.

The topic for this week has been foster care and adoption since I was recently on the Wife of the Party Podcast talking about my personal adoption experience. If you guys checked that out, you already know that I've played a huge role in raising my little sister. So when things got difficult for her I reached out to the only expert I knew, Raquel Perez, to see what she thinks I should do. 

Raquel and I have been friends for 15 years and within months she'll officially be a social worker! We had a full blown amazing conversation that I so wish I recorded for you guys, but instead I took notes and shared my take of our chat. Read more of Raquel's story and her mission with foster youth in the link below.
