  • Love it + episode idea

    Love love this show. You’re both so relatable and down to earth. Would love a full episode on “recreating or restarting family lineage” by being the generation to reset and change generational addictions, trauma, issues. I loved that you all touched on it in the Amber episode and think a full episode on it would be great. Keep it up

  • Potential for improvement

    This podcast has so much potential. They tend to go on tangents that start to sound repetitive. It would be cool if they had some structure to their episodes to keep them on track. The confessions they sometimes share from fans are SO good I wish they made that as a regular ending segment. There are also too many encore episodes for such a young podcast. There are other pods out there that never repeat an episode, it seems like such a waste and strange when the same episode exists a few months b... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. Kristin Kirkland: When Adoption and Human Trafficking Intersect
Q: What is the definition of human trafficking and how does it compare to private infant adoption in America?
Trafficking is defined by obtaining a person through force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of exploitation; when a minor is involved in adoption, the act is already qualified even without proving other subtypes, and the discussion centers on coercion and identity exploitation rather than simple separation.
Young Grandma Amber Boone: Escaping Domestic Abuse & Blended Family Dynamics (PART 1)
Q: How did Amber end her first abusive relationship and begin rebuilding?
Amber details planning an exit at age 19, leaving with her two young children, and navigating a period of uncertainty before establishing a new home and support system with family and friends. The escape is framed as a critical turning point toward safety and independence.
Young Grandma Amber Boone: Escaping Domestic Abuse & Blended Family Dynamics (PART 1)
Q: What happened in Amber's early life that shaped her worldview?
Amber describes traumatic incidents beginning with a Doberman attack, abuse by her father, and a chaotic, disciplinary-heavy childhood that influenced her later relationships and parenting. She highlights the impact of testifying in court and the long-term sense of distrust toward institutions.
ENCORE Dr. Abby Hasberry: Navigating Adoption as an Adoptee and Birth Mother
Q: What changes would you like to see in adoption practices to better support families and individuals involved?
Greater emphasis on informed consent, trauma-informed counseling for all parties, and policies that reduce coercion and commodification in adoption.
ENCORE Dr. Abby Hasberry: Navigating Adoption as an Adoptee and Birth Mother
Q: Can you describe your adoption journey and how you arrived at open versus closed adoption?
I was open to both possibilities but became part of a closed adoption and later moved toward open contact as I processed the trauma and sought a healthier path for my child and myself.
