Katie and Laura get together after taking some time to recover from illness. They talk about the societal shame of not being "fine," not being able to talk about it, and how it correlates to adoptees' way of making others feel comfortable. Life can feel very heavy and it was refreshing to talk to each other about normalizing how we feel, even when it's not what others want to hear.
