Unbelievably Resilient Unbelievably Resilient

Behind the facade of our resilience we often find ourselves dealing with the inner turbulence that stems from the bodily and psychosocial effects of our pasts. Tune in to hear from Adrian, Maraide, and Slam in this Finale where we let you peak behind the veil of accomplishment and success for folks with lived experience in the child welfare system. Along the way you’ll get to revisit some of the major themes throughout this season, lessons learned, tips, ways to cope, and the reality of what it’s like to record a podcast with change makers, advocates, and charismatic leaders when, as Slam puts it, “Life be Lifing.”
