Dr. Juliana Olson Deans is back! She is a licensed professional counselor, mental health counselor, and national certified counselor who imparted great wisdom in episode 5 and co-founded the Interracial Adoptee Panel series with me this past summer. Juliana is here with her husband Derek. 

As I said before, these familial chats are the most challenging conversations to have yet these conversations can change a life. I personally have experienced that. It’s all in pursuit of stronger relationships and diffusing the tension within the subject of adoption, until one day  you’ve harnessed the situation and no part of it causes you suffering.
