Ep. 79 Rae Adoptee Reclaimed & 5 Tips For a Better Life

Hi again! The idea of adoptees reclaiming themselves have perplexed certain people for awhile now. If you aren’t adopted or haven’t had an in-depth conversation with someone who is adopted you might wonder “What do they need to reclaim?” Today’s guest is Rae from Adoptee Reclaimed. 

Rae is trauma-informed and versed in child development, brain-body integration, and addiction and abuse recovery coaching. Rae borrows somatic methods and Internal Family Systems which she customizes for adoptees. I stumbled across Rae from her Poetry contest.

We discuss:

• Using our voice in a Poetic form
• Why I’ve named the  podcast “When they were young”
• The silent assignment of adoptees
• Recognition of before the fog
• History of adoption with native Americans
• Reunion Support
• How we can best receive joy
• And 5 tips for quality of life (The 3rd tip will change the course of how you approach dating)
