If you've ever been in your own season of waiting, then you know how heart wrenching that can be on a person. If you've ever waited for something that you knew deep down was meant for you, but were surrounded by unknowns of how it was going to get to you -- then this story will hit home for you. 

In this heartfelt solo episode, I share my transformative and powerful story of adopting my son, Augustus. I've waited 7 years to be able to say those words: my SON. What an honor it is to now be able to share this story publicly to all of my loved ones and listeners.

After taking a month off from the podcast, I decided it's time to reveal the emotional and intricate journey of adoption that my husband and I went through -- from the challenges faced, the unexpected signs that led me to motherhood, meeting my son for the first time, and the many synchronicities along the way. This episode encapsulates the joy, hope, and resilience that come with my journey to motherhood through adoption. I open up about the role of mindset, manifestation, and spiritual alignment throughout this journey and how the challenges and triumphs reshaped me both personally and professionally. I share the emotional moment of when my husband and I first met our son and the transformative power of parenthood. This episode is a true testament to hope, faith, and the life-changing gift of love. 

So many listeners and loved ones have been alongside us through this journey, and I cannot say thank you enough to those of you who have reached out, who have been a constant support, who have encouraged me/us along the way --the prayers and presence has made a huge impact in our lives, and we have felt the prayers/presence so deeply! This story is so special to us, and we hope it is special for you all as well, as this is a story that has changed our lives forever.

If you think there is someone in your life who could benefit from hearing our story, to provide hope for someone going through their own waiting journey, please pass it along because I will be the first to say that what provided me hope throughout my 7 years of trying for a baby were the stories shared by others who experienced similar miracles in their own lives. With that being said -- please pass it on! You never know who needs to hear this!! Every share truly means the world to me!
