  • YET Marriage and Family Therapy Founder Anna Hornbostel - There is No Set Way to Address Grief and Loss

    In conversation with Anna Hornbostel, founder of YET Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy on how infertility continues to impact her family and their dream of having children together. We get into the meaning of prolonged grief disorder and how infertility does not mean one's life has to stop. Anna talks about how trauma can impact adopted and foster children in similar ways it does to grown ups. How resilience, TBRI and animal assisted therapy, are all a part of her passions in helping others. We bond on the need to share our stories and explain Child-Less is not Child-Free.

  • There’s a Predator in My Family

    My sister cousin, Virna Hernandez, educator and mom of four, shares the space in talking about the history of sexual assaults in our family. We discuss when my eldest sister X, as a teenager, was a victim of a priest, and how it affected our entire family. We get into not repeating the non-communication cycle that has caused pain and standing up against an existing predator.
