EPISODE 053 | We are Nature and Nurture - The Complexity of Abandonment
Listen
In this episode, we explore Lori’s life - she tells us about the impact of her closed adoption, her loving parents, meeting her biological mother for the first time, and how an abandonment wound has played out in her life - everything from dealing with relationships, losing her own biological children, losing her health, losing her marriage, and starting over in life after experiencing those crushing losses. Through Lori’s experience, she’s now able to use empathy to help others through birthing and creating their families.
You’ll learn it’s okay to embrace the wild part of your soul. You’ll see that depression and suicidal thoughts can still coexist with a great life. You’ll learn about the amazingness of nurture, but also about the incredible power of biological connection, and the impact of bonding with your environment when you’re in the womb and after.
We talk about rising out of years worth of grief and resulting physical issues to begin thriving again. Lori had to make a massive change if she wanted to save herself. And she did.
