Ashley Pi: Heart mommies and tummy mommies--Motherhood through foster care and adoption

Love this episode? Send me a message here!


Ashley Pi is a wife and SAHM to four kids under the age of four.
She became a licensed foster mom five years ago and has adopted
four toddlers and helped three reunify with their families. After
seeing the needs of all involved in the system, she has been
creating and partnering with organizations in her city to help
support kids in care, former foster youth, adoptees, biological
parents, social workers, and foster/ adoptive/ and kinship
families.

My conversation with Ashley is a  vulnerable, beautiful, and
heartfelt look into a tender motherhood story: becoming a foster
parent and then an adoptive mom. I loved how she continues to
honor her kids' "tummy mommies" and birth families and how she
hold their stories in her hands and her heart.

We discuss trauma, grief, healing, hope, the fear of leaning into
joy,  and how, so often, we hold polarizing emotions in our
hearts as mothers, no matter how our motherhood story
began.
