Let's Thrive

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

 

All went well until I found out that my teddy bear was a gift from my birth mother when I was 40.

 

That unleashed an eruption of anger, feeling rejected and unloved.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

That led to a quest to heal, healing and a desire to help others. 

​

15 years later I work with others who want to support adoptees through my podcast, consulting,  webinars and any other way I can.

Would you like to discuss doing more to support adoptees.
