***MAY CONTAIN TRIGGERING CONTENT PART 2 OF DANIELLE'S STORY!!!  Many adoptees fantasize about who their birth parents are. Are they rich? Are they royalty? Are they famous?  In Danielle's case she did have a famous actress as her birth mother, and it was a bit overwhelming, to say the least!  After reuniting with her birth mother – and uncovering the primal wound that lay deep within her – Danielle embarks on a twenty-year healing journey of self-discovery, reconciliation, and forgiveness. For anyone who feels stuck, hurt, or rudderless in the sea of life, for anyone interested in doing the deep work of self-healing, becoming liberated, and realizing the potential to heal beyond themselves, Healing Tree is a source of direction, inspiration, and hope.

***MAY CONTAIN TRIGGERING CONTENT “Our adopted angel” – that’s what Danielle’s adoptive parents called her. She grew up adored, doted on, and unconditionally loved. It wasn’t until she was in college that she first felt a gnawing curiosity about her roots. From time to time, she would wonder: Where did this face come from? Where did this body come from? Where did this blood come from?  Her search to find her biological parents had begun – one full of surprises and revelations. After reuniting with her birth mother – and uncovering the primal wound that lay deep within her – Danielle embarks on a twenty-year healing journey of self-discovery, reconciliation, and forgiveness.

***EPISODE CONTAINS ADULT LANGUAGE AND MIGHT NOT BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN. November is Adoption Awareness Month.  Are you AWARE that the states get kickback incentives for adoptions through the foster care system?  Are you AWARE that these incentives are based on how adoptable you are? If you are 14 and older you are considered 'harder to place,' and the price tag for your adoption is much higher than younger children.  Are you AWARE that almost $900 million dollars have been awarded to eligible states since these kickbacks have started? Are you AWARE that some families are claiming the states are legally kidnapping their children through the court system and adopting them out for money? These are closed adoptions so these families may never see their family members again! Are you AWARE that private adoptions can cost well over $40,000. Do we care that Americas children have price tags on their heads?  Why are children being trafficked by the government? And by agencies with deep pockets?  Why is it legal for these government and private agencies to make money from the adoption of our children, but it is illegal and called trafficking if a person tries to adopt out their children for money? The system is broken, and it's time to EDUCATE THE WORLD!  THIS IS NOT OK!!! ***If you or someone you know would like to tell their adoption story on the podcast, (Anyone in the adoptee constellation), or if you are searching for a lost love one, either separated by adoption or the foster care system, I would love to help you with your search by getting the word out and having you tell your story on the podcast.

***EPISODE CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE. Let me start by saying, I have a love/hate relationship with Mel Robbins. (Really, I love her.) BUT, she STOLE my idea! The one I thought was stupid so I never wrote a book about it or did speaking engagements about it like she did! AND she probably made MILLIONS from it!!  What idea you ask?  The one about how to get motivated. There is a hack! Yes, a brain hack, that you have to try! I've been doing it for years! It works! It really works!  AND, it's SO simple!!! You will have to listen to find out exactly what it is. BUT!  Let me just say this-In a nutshell, motivation is CRAP! It's a total set up! Why? because it is never there when you need it the most! NO! It never is! Am I right? So now what?? You could wait around for it, but like that knight in shining armor, it ain't coming! Even if you kiss a thousand frogs! So, how are you going to get the 'motivation' to pick up your shovel and plant flowers instead of digging that hole you find yourself in?  Wait for motivation?  You might as well take that shovel and dig your own grave. Find out the brain hack. It's so simple, you will wonder why you didn't think of it first and make millions like Mel Robbins did.  ***If you or someone you know would like to tell their adoption story on the podcast, (Anyone in the adoptee constellation), or if you are searching for a lost love one, either separated by adoption or the foster care system, I would love to help you with your search by getting the word out and having you tell your story on the podcast.
