Episode 10 - This Adoptee Life Podcast - Heather Marshall
Welcome to This Adoptee Life Podcast, Heather Marshall, fellow adoptee, shares her story with us on This Adoptee Life Podcast. We talk about navigating life as an adoptee, the guilt born out of not having a voice as children, the mask we wear to fit in as adoptees, the fear of everything falling apart, motherhood as an adoptee, and what honoring our feelings might look like while working towards the rocky road of healing. It was a wonderful conversation and I hope you will love listening to it as much as I did recording it. Please, don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review to help other people find us and hear our stories. _____________________________________________________________________________ Heather Marshall is an adoptee, author, teacher, and coach whose classes, workshops, and coaching focus primarily on helping people access their own stories.
