Self worth is THE issue for us all. How we see ourselves determines how we see the world. Fellow adoptee and adoptive parent Allison and I both had profound insights about or own self worth during our conversation. How we see ourselves shifted. In a GOOD way. So this is a must listen to episode for both adoptees and adoptive parents. If you're an adoptee you're going to want to listen for yourself. If you're an adoptive parent you're going to want to listen for yourself so you can deeper your own understanding. We can't share what we don't have. We can't teach what we don't understand. We can't point at what we haven't seen for ourselves. Perhaps my favourite episode in over 200 so far. Listen in with big ears.
