  • Firsts & Favorites

    Your favorite podcasting brothers are back at The Firepit for Season 3. As siblings, you are used to experiencing first moments together such as first field trips, first cars, and first whooping that brought a tear to your eye. But what happens when that is not the case. You didn't have the opportunity to grow up with your siblings, and never got to experience those first moments. On this episode, we will explore some of each other's firsts and favorite memorable moments from our childhoods.

  • What Burned Y'all Up?

    It's hard to believe that we have completed two full seasons on Firepit Conversations. We have laughed, cried, and even had some jaw dropping moments. Our guest have come to The Firepit and shared their experiences for all to hear. Many of our listeners loved the "What burned you up" segment of our show. Often times we have listeners messaging us the things that have frustrated them. So, we thought it would be nice to share some with yall. We hope you all have enjoyed listening to this season. We will be back soon with more guests, more stories, and more things that burn us up. 

    We will meet you all at The Firepit for Season 3!

  • Mama Cookie at The Firepit

    Mother's Day is a day when we get to celebrate all of the mothers and mother figures. For some, this day is challenging and brings feelings of sorrow and loss. For some adoptees, Mother's Day can feel conflicting and overwhelming. For us, today is about celebrating the beautiful women in our lives who have contributed to the men that we are today. Join us at The Firepit with Ruth Jacobs aka Mama Cookie (Ronnie's Mom), as she shares her wisdom and experience. This very special episode is a bonus for the season, and we hope you all enjoy it. Along with your usual things you bring to the Pit, be sure to bring a Kleenex or two. You'll laugh, cry, and then laugh some more. 

    Shout out to all of the mothers and mother figures in the world, especially our moms Mama Cookie & Mama Deb. You are loved, you are valued, and you are appreciated!

  • Brother, Brother

    Adoptions have been happening since the beginning of time. Hell, even Moses himself was an adoptee. However, with the invention of the TV and internet, these stories of adoption have been written, produced, and directed for the world to see. Whether it is a documentary, sitcom, or movie, the story of adoptees and how their lives unfold (the reveal, search and reunion, and so much more) are being told for all to witness. On this episode, we explore our experiences and opinions on how TV, film, and social media have impacted society's thoughts, views, and narratives about adoption.

  • I Won't Be Somebody's Option!

    Conflict is defined as a serious disagreement or argument. There are no relationships, whether family or friend, that are 100% free of conflict. It's how you handle the conflict that can make or break the relationship. Join us at the Firepit as we discuss our conflicts with our birth family, and no one is off limits. We will discuss our conflicts with Ann, Sonny, and our siblings. Don't worry, we don't just harp on the negative! We actually give some actionable strategies to help build a more positive relationship and avoid additional conflict. We know that so many members of the adoptee community have experienced conflict with their first/birth families. And, we understand that those first/birth families may not know how to handle these newly formed relationships. We hope this helps!! Remember, while conflict is inevitable, combat is an option.
