Overview + Confession: Raising You Is Killing Me
Manage episode 452698086 series 3619672
In this first episode, I share an overview of my parenting journey as an adoptive mother thus far. Additionally, I go into detail about my first confession: I used to say that I should write a book about my parenting journey. I joked that the title would be, “Raising You Is Killing Me”. It was funny. Until I truly started to imagine taking my leave of this world.
**It is crucial to note that I did NOT say this to my son, but to my close circle of trusted friends.
My audacious intent for this podcast is to be a beacon of hope for parents and guardians like me, who are raising wounded children and doing their best to stay afloat. I have found my way from surviving to thriving and you can, too!
