In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the profound impact of our environment and our familial history on our lives. Join us for an enlightening conversation with Azariah Hope, a remarkable individual whose journey of self-discovery and transformation unveils the power of love, belief, and resilience.

KEY DISCUSSION POINTS:

Azariah's Personal Journey

Azariah opens up about her role as a parent to four children, highlighting the unique connection between her experience and the histories of her mother and grandparents.

Her story unfolds as a testament to how our personal narratives are deeply intertwined with the generations that precede us.


The Influence of 'Normal'

We explore the concept that our perception of "normal" profoundly shapes our decisions and behaviors.

Azariah eloquently explains how we cannot break free from patterns we aren't even aware of until we're given the opportunity to see life from a different perspective.


Healing and Transformation

Azariah shares her personal struggle to heal and grow while facing the demands of a systemic world. She candidly discusses how her journey inward was a necessary step before she could begin building a meaningful relationship with her own children, two of whom were adopted.

Her story serves as a powerful reminder that the pace of personal growth cannot always align with societal expectations.


The Power of Support

Amidst the challenges, Azariah found hope and transformation through the support of others. She reflects on the pivotal role played by one social worker who believed in her, understood her, and fought for her.

Ultimately, it was the love and commitment of her foster family that saved and transformed her life.


Azariah leaves us with a profound message of inspiration. Her story reminds us that, no matter how bleak or traumatic our beginnings may be, transformation and growth are always possible. Through her remarkable journey, she encourages us to believe in our own potential for change and to recognise the significance of love and connection in our lives.
