In this episode, we dive into the complex emotions tied to feelings of unworthiness experienced by many adoptees and explore paths to healing and empowerment. By understanding primal wound theory, societal influences, and cultural displacement, we aim to uncover why these feelings emerge and how adoptees can reclaim their sense of self-worth.


Laurie and Claire sit down for a super vulnerable and honest conversation about what led them to confront and begin to heal their feelings of not being enough. Listen in to hear them share their tools for healing feelings of unworthiness and how to cultivate self worth.


You ARE worthy and you are LOVED!!
