The Stand With Meg Show takes the data on the public report and puts it in conversation. Attorneys, researchers, clinicians, legislators, journalists, and other professionals — talking honestly about what is actually happening inside American family courts and child welfare systems.
Author of The Amazings Series, Julie joins Meg to talk about reading together, independent thinking, faith, and helping children hold on to hope. She shares a parenting regret and what she learned from apologizing to her son. Explore her books on Meg's Christmas bookshelf.
Houston family medicine physician and author of Custody MD: Fighting for the Woo. She tells Meg the part of her story that comes before family court: a brand-new degree, a newborn, and nowhere to live, and how she fought her way into medicine. Her account. Not a court finding. Not legal advice.
