September 08, 2020 Come Meet Drayden
Drayden is a Black boy with Autism Spectrum Disorder. His mother, Dana, has been consistently fighting and pushing to get him the diagnosis and services he deserves (and needs!) since he was just a few months old.
This episode is one about racism within the medical field. It's about a mother who must protect her son from the people who are supposed to protect him in a world where innocent, sweet, adorable Black boys grow up to be perceived by many as dangerous Black men.

September 01, 2020 Ride Through It
In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack!
-
Lyndsey and her mother have a shared love of horses. They both compete in dressage (Google it). They ride together after their daily farm chores are finished. But Lyndsey is more naturally gifted in the saddle than her mother, and this creates tension and envy.
After a riding accident leaves her mother with severe physical injuries, Lyndsey isn't sure her mom will ever ride again. As her mom's body slowly heals, and as Lyndsey reteaches her mother how to ride, the two begin mending their relationship.

August 25, 2020 David’s Excellently Sad Adventure
Here's the thing: We do not like describing grief as a "journey." But when your grief involves a literal road trip across the country, what other choice do we have? And when your friend loses his wife and decides to go on that road trip to clear his mind, what do you do? If you're David's friend, you fly out to meet him, open up the maps app on your phone and buckle up.

August 18, 2020 What's Gonna Happen To Me?
In our last episode, you met Brittany. (If you haven't listened to that one yet, we recommend scrolling back and checking it out.)
When we left Britt, she finally had a good relationship with her biological dad for the first time in 33 years. She has her own solid family unit with her husband, Sonny. Her mom's health has improved, and so has Britt’s relationship with her. Things are good. They’re really, really good!
And because this podcast isn't called, "Really, Really Good, Glad You Asked!” that means it's time for Britt's world to start unraveling.

June 23, 2020 Untying Knots
Sometimes our parental relationships are a little tangly. We’re wrapped up in big, old knots from strings that were already jumbled up before we were even born.
This is a story about the knotted threads of one family, as seen through the eyes of a girl named Brittany, who is busy grieving the recent death of her dad when she learns that he ... wasn’t actually her dad.

Salome and Isaiah can't wait to become parents to Isaac and Joy, children they've come to love after multiple visits to Isaiah's home country of Nigeria. The children's birth mother has been unable to care for them, and Isaiah's brother has been helping the children's grandparents financially.
Isaac and Joy's mother agrees to the international adoption. But after the papers are finalized, the children are kidnapped ... and Salome and Isaiah are thrust into a system in which no one ever wins.
