Have you met Julia yet? You'll love her just as much as we do as she takes her first turn hosting this week's podcast! Julia leads our group of moms through a deep dive into the unique journey of raising and supporting children who aren't biologically ours. Whether you're an adoptive parent, foster parent, step-parent, or legal guardian, this episode is for you. Parenting non-bio kids comes with its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to navigating mental health. From dealing with trauma and attachment issues to overcoming stigmas and misconceptions, we’re here to offer understanding, support, and practical tips. Join us as we share real stories, expert insights, and honest conversations about raising kids who’ve been through difficult experiences. Discover how to be their biggest advocate, create a safe and loving home, and empower them to thrive.
