*Ring!*Ring!* "Hard" Talks Fam! We made it to episode 35 you guys! This is a very near and dear episode to your Hippie's heart and we're sorry it was late. It took a lot of contemplation, re-recording and editing because nothing felt "just right". We've received many requests over the last several months asking more in depth questions about Alicia's adoption journey and her earlier years. She gets candid and goes through her experiences in living through a teenage pregnancy and an in family adoption.

Episode 35 is in memory and dedication of a great man who lost his battle with brain cancer 6 years ago today (Aug. 27th)
Alicia’s fun loving Uncle and adoptive father of her eldest son.
