This week's guest is Mary Justice, the heart behind the delightful Instagram account, @maryfairyboberry. Mary is an international adoptee who grew up in an emotionally and verbally abusive Seventh-Day Adventist home. Between home and church, there were rules that dictated her entire life. "It's just so much fanaticism." As an adult, she has a family she cares for without the abuse or micro-managing from high-control religion. She's been through a lot, but she's choosing to laugh and enjoy her present life. Check out her Instagram account @maryfairyboberry for her own personal journey, cute kid videos, information on autism, and hilarious tweets about parenting.
