In this episode of the B7 Better Together podcast, we dive deep into our personal adoption journey. We discuss how we came to adopt an older child from Colombia in 2018, detailing our hosting experience and the emotional roller coaster that came with it. Hear about our initial connections, our biological children’s reactions, and the hurdles we faced. We also touch on our initial discussions about adoption before marriage and the challenges of infertility. This heartwarming and tear-jerking episode sets the stage for the next part of our story, where we delve into the adoption process and life after bringing our child home.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
