As a birth mother of 13 years, her vulnerability and transparency is refreshing and so helpful to so many of us in the adoption community. &amp;nbsp; Understanding what a birth mother experiences after placing her child with another family is a key piece of education for each member of the triad, and for those hoping to adopt. &amp;nbsp; Ashley is the owner of Lifetime Healing LLC and is on mission to increase care, understanding, and resources for birth mothers across the country. &amp;nbsp; We would love to connect with you on social media: &amp;nbsp; Ashley Mitchell: @bigtoughgirl @lifetimehealingllc &amp;nbsp; Macie Perreault: @adoptwell @mrsperreault &amp;nbsp; Amy Bagwell: @toddleradoption @ahbagwell &amp;nbsp; Before you go, please leave an honest review and share your thoughts on social media with #AdoptWellPodcast. &amp;nbsp; www.AdoptWell.com Adopt Well Podcast http://adoptwell.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/9903884/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/43250795
