Hey, my name is Shalonda, your host. This podcast is about foster care and our experiences growing up in custody. We want to highlight success stories to give the next generation tips on how they can survive foster care and thrive after. I share my experience and advice for what I did and didn't do while giving the lessons that I learned. I look forward to interviewing foster youth, foster parents, caseworkers, and biological families to understand the full story so we all can understand how to work together to create a better system.

THE TRUTH IS HARSH
Many times we say we want the truth but honest can be hurtful and we want to resist it. I find myself resisting the truth when someone calls me out and holds me accountable. I want to become better but listening to my flaws is difficult. Let’s discuss it. Follow on Yemojaspeaks on IG.

Affirming Our Emotions
As we recognize how we feel we are able to affirm that we have those emotions to work through them. I deleted my previous episode about emotional regulation but within this episode we discuss social situations that we can find ourselves in where we need to regulate our emotions by naming them, or biting our tongue in intense emotions.
