40 | Moving Forward: A Conversation w/Tarcia Smith

P's solo pod is here and it's a really good one!

Today, she's joined by Tarcia Smith of the Adoption Journey Podcast. They explore the 'trauma with a little t' that comes along with being adopted, then the two have a heart to heart about how Tarcia's adoption trauma impacted her friendship with P.

If you're looking for any resources about Black or transracial adoptees, Tarcia gives some great recommendations at the end of the episode! Tune in!
