In this episode, Amy J. Brown shares about her parenting journey while navigating adoption's challenges. Amy is an author, a podcaster, and an adoptive mom. She shares how she made peace with the phrase, "special needs" mom and, how she and her friends wrote a book to encourage other moms. She brings us a practical exercise that has helped her move through mom guilt and grief, and finally, how she now mentors other moms who are handling unexpected parenting challenges. I also left in a personal interaction that she and I had at the end because she is mentoring me as well.
