In this heartfelt episode of Get Yourself Optimized, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Marge Cater, my foster mother, who has been an instrumental figure in my life. Together, we delved deep into the transformative power of love, structure, and kindness in the foster care system. This episode explores Marge’s journey from being a dedicated fourth-grade teacher to challenging and improving a broken foster care system in Toledo, Ohio.
You'll hear touching memories, challenging moments, and insights into fostering that go beyond mere caregiving to create lasting bonds and family. Marge discusses the complexities of the foster care system, the profound differences that small acts of kindness can make, and the importance of treating everyone as special. You'll also discover how you can play a role in supporting foster children, whether through emergency fostering, temporary care, volunteering, or donations.
