This week on It’s a Lot, librarian and bonus mom Eboni Jones Stewart joins me for a very honest conversation about her path to becoming a bonus mom and her long journey of trying to get pregnant with a biological child of her own. We discuss the scourge that is Roblox, how special (and overstimulating) it is to have living room kids, the atrocious things people (medical professionals included) say to you after a pregnancy loss, and more.

In the second half of the episode, we explore how techno-optimists have ruined social media (and possibly the world) by never considering the consequences of their actions, and discuss how Ella has learned to use her privilege to speak up and uplift others’ voices.
