about

With this podcast, I deconstruct the romanticism holding up the adoption industry and expose the lies, abuse, and pain that gets silenced.

I'm here to unwrap the shiny bow around adoption and speak my truths as an adoptees. In doing so, I explain what it means and what it feels like to “come out of the fog”.

This isn't your feel good podcast, I am an angry, healing and honest adoptee.
