Description

Stork'd is one woman’s exploration to discover the many modern ways people define and create family. What is family? Emotional, Complex, Loving, Challenging. For many of us, how we define what “family” means can be a personal and complicated question. Julia is building a family. She's opening up an honest, funny, raw and earnest conversation looking at what creating a family really means and how it might show up differently than expected. Join Julia as she explores the concept of today’s modern family. Episodes feature every day friends, family, neighbors and experts sharing their own journey to define and create a family.
