Trauma education helps.

This podcast is healing education.

We are all at different place on our healing journey.

If we don't know what we want, we can't get it. I usually start by asking guests, what does healing mean to you? So what does it mean to you - the one reading this blurb. Take some time, journal, ponder, whatever works for you.

What's helping/helped you heal? Listen in. Could the guest's actions help you heal? Worth a go right? Or at least being open to it. Our beliefs are bouncers guarding against new ideas. Beware where your beliefs are getting in the way.

What's hindered your healing? YOU can't get in the way of your healing, only your beliefs can. Or taking action. So find that new therapist when your current one retires. Prioritise your healing. Give yourself grace and take a break if you need to!

Thriving Adoptees helps you along your unique journey with insights from your fellow adoptees.

So that their learnings catalyse your healing.

So why do I love helping adoptees heal?

I was adopted at 5 weeks old and told about it so young I don't ever remember not knowing.

I didn't experience any conscious 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.

I created the podcast so guests help listeners along their unique healing journey and see their worth.

That's the reason the Thriving Adoptees logo is a diamond.

You are a diamond.

We are all diamonds.

Diamonds whose worth is hidden by our trauma.

But every metaphor has it's limits.

Diamonds have a finite value.

Your value is infinite.

Most podcasts for adoptees focus on stories, we focus on healing.
