You're listening to an I-Heart podcast.

Hi, it's Emily Tish Sussman, host of the podcast, She Pivots.

In honor of Mother's Day, we have some very special guests.

I'm Elaine Welteroff.

And I'm Caitlin Murray.

Both women pivoted out of their careers after having their kids,

proving that motherhood is just another chapter in our journey, not the end.

Come on over to hear their full stories.

You can listen to She Pivots on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We asked parents who adopted teens to share their journey.

We just kind of knew from the beginning that we were family.

They showcased the sense of love that I never had before.

I mean, he's not only my parent, like he's like my best friend.

At the end of the day, it's all been worth it.

I wouldn't change thing about our lives.

called A Slight Change of Plans that combines behavioral science and

storytelling to help us navigate the big changes in our lives. I get so choked up because I feel

like your show and the conversations are what the world needs, encouraging, empowering counter-programming that acts like a lighthouse when the world feels dark.
