S1E3: Help Me Read a Book

The podcast "Snooze" explores the theme of confronting avoidance, focusing on co-host Abby's journey of reading "All You Can Ever Know" by Nicole Chung, a book about a Korean adoptee's search for identity. Abby, also a Korean adoptee raised by white parents, grapples with her cultural identity and anxieties about motherhood. Initially hesitant, Abby finds unexpected connections with Chung's experiences, particularly around feeling "not white" and the complexities of being Korean-American. As she delves deeper, Abby confronts her fears about potential infertility and what it means to not have a biological child who shares her heritage, while also coming to terms with her own unique story. Ultimately, reading the book encourages Abby to embrace her identity and find comfort in her husband's support.
