Why start a podcast just for birth mothers?
There are a lot of wonderful things happening in the Instagram adoption community right now… but in reality, that’s just a tiny part of the actual, larger adoption community. While we will always encourage a healthy triad that works together, birth moms remain one of the most silent sides of the triad and the majority still do not get the healing and community that they need and deserve. We saw the need for a safe and welcoming space for birth moms to say “Yeah, me too.”
Keep in mind, we are just two women who happen to be birth moms. We are two co-hosts, with two personal experiences that are unique to us as individuals. We both have very big and bold personalities, but are also very different. We are firm believers that there are no two birth moms alike! That’s why Twisted Sisterhood features a new guest every episode, and you betcha… each guest is a birth mom.
What makes us different? We promise you won’t hear regurgitated adoption propaganda messages here. We have no hidden agenda; our mission is to make sure birth mothers’ voices and stories are heard and validated. We have no spin. Our message may challenge you, you may not agree with it, and you may even get your feelings hurt. We encourage you to stick around. We do not claim to be pro-adoption. We want stories to be heard in their most honest and raw form, without compromising integrity or privacy.
Not a birth mom, but wanting to listen in, too? Great! We encourage your listening for the benefit of your personal education. We may not always “get it right” but we will always strive for integrity, honesty, and empathy. We hope you practice the same virtues. Most importantly, each guest we welcome on our show deserves respect, dignity, and the ability to share their experience and thoughts freely.
