When They Were Young: Amplifying Voices of Adoptees

Today's guest is Lori May Mier who is the author of Marin and Her Very Bright Star; a story of resiliency which is available on her website. She also is an activator in her community. Find out why I use the word "activator" instead of "activist" in the episode.
We talk about:

• The difference between Grief and loss
• Narrative therapy and how reimagining your story can change your perspective
• Lori's experience with parental loss
• The abuse Lori endured at the hands of her caregivers
• Lori shares how generational grief shows up in parenting
