Inspiration and insights for adoptive parents and adoptees around the world.
Interviews and conversations to bring light and hope to empower.
Adopters, adoptees and adoption professionals share their stories and what they've learned to help listeners navigate the sometimes tricky adoption journey.
Listeners are in the USA (57%), UK (21%), Canada (7%).
So why did I create this podcast?
I was adopted at 5 weeks old and told about it so young I don't ever remember not knowing.
I didn't suffer any adoption trauma until I hit 40 when I found out my childhood teddy bear was a gift from my birth mother.
This caused an eruption of anger, feeling rejected and unloved. That kickstarted a learning journey that led me to heal and then want to help others.
The podcast is a key part of that.
Let's empower adoptees to T.H.R.I.V.E.
Trauma - We don't see well in the darkness of trauma. Where's the hope? The light at the end of the tunnel
Healing - Trauma is painful. How do we start feeling better?
Resilience - Discovering our strength is the key to bouncing back. How do we find it?
Identity - We are NOT our trauma. Who are we? Peeling back the layers of the onion to reveal the true self.
Vision - The past is a place of reference not residence. How do we create a brighter future?
Empower - Going deeper into 'thriving' so we can help others catalyses our own learning.
