And 10 episodes later, we are at the Season 1 finale! Thank you all for listening and sharing the pod with others. It looks like the topic of non-traditional family structures is getting some deserved attention and traction. Podcasts like “Refamulating” and a mini-series on “This is Actually Happening” came out in April and June, respectively. Check them out! I find this really promising in terms of discussing and normalizing the experience of being part of a unique family.

Speaking of which, in this episode, I talk to two therapists — Meg Michaelson and Leora Lerba — about how to approach potentially challenging conversations with kiddos. While the focus is on how to help children understand how their families may look different from those of their peers, we cover topics like illness and disability, as well. 

Lots of wisdom gems dropped here. For anyone seeking guidance navigating life, please visit the episode page for Meg’s and Leora’s bios and contact information. 10/10 recommend them!

Enjoy!
