Podcasts about look adopted

In this episode, I chat with Rebecca Berg MS, RD about the trauma of adoption and the impact it has on an adoptee's connection to their body. Rebecca is an expert in eating disorders and adoption (as well as having personal experience as an adoptee) and she shares incredible insight into why adoptees struggle to connect with their bodies and how that can impact their relationship with food.

***WARNING-MAY CONTAIN ADULT LANGUAGE AND TRIGGERING CONTENT RELATED TO ADOPTION. ADOPTEES, boy what a can of worms we can be! It's a rollercoaster of being ourselves AND someone else. I'm sure a lot of us have been told YOU DON'T LOOK ADOPTED at one point or another. What the hell does that even mean? I am diving into the book, You Don't Look Adopted by Anne Heffron-Anne is an adoptee that uses satire and humor to talk about all aspects of her life as an adoptee. If you are adopted, you have to get this book! It will make you laugh and cry at the same time! She talks about relationships, navigating adoptive parents as well as having a not so great reunion (or non reunion) with her birth mother. She addresses being a not so great student, how she felt as a child and what happened when she had her first biological child that didn't look like her at all! If you are looking for a ME TOO book, this is it! I love how she writes in a away that gives you that A-HA thought. That YES! That's it! That's exactly how I feel!!

Join host Pam Kroskie with guest Anne Heffron Thursday March 15th @ 3pm est After teaching writing at San Jose State University for over fifteen years, Anne retired to work full time on screenplays with her writing partner, Antonia Bogdanovitch. In 2015, Phantom Halo was named New York Times Critics’ Pick and it won Best Screenplay and Best Picture at The New York International Film Festival. The next year Anne packed up all her things, gave up her California apartment, and left for New York on a trip she called Write or Die. She said she was not coming back home until she had done the one thing she’d been wanting to do for over thirty years: write a book about adoption. Ninety-three days later, she had the manuscript for You Don’t Look Adopted. And the name of her birth father.  She is currently writing The Unofficial Adoptees’ Handbook and teaches monthly Write or Die classes, where she inspires and guides others to discover ways to get their stories on paper. You Don’t Look Adopted, which recently won Best of BellaOnline 2016, is available on Amazon.

It was hard. 30 years of hard work. Massive credit card debt. Yet, the book was still not finished. She said, “My mom died before she could finish her book. I am not going to die before I finish mine.” However, things continued to get worse before they got any better. She was fired from her job for throwing a pen at a student and saying, “Fuck” in front of the whole class. Her marriage was falling apart. A hard moment of reflection was bound to follow. She gave up her apartment. Packed up everything and left. Next stop, Martha's Vineyard, NY. Two weeks, 336 hours, to complete her work. But, the story was not coming out. She said, “I was heartbroken. My one hope was that I could write a book.” Fear took over. She texted her best friend and explained all of the reasons why she couldn't do it. She felt devastated. But, right before she was about to pack her things and leave, she received a message. Her friend wrote back, “Use your true voice.” It all clicked. She stopped trying to be the person her parents wanted her to be. Enough was enough. All of a sudden, she understood how to tell her story. 93 days later, “You Don't Look Adopted” was finished. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: On change: You must create pressure, community, and guidance On adoption: Every adoptee should tell his or her story On flourishing, not survival: Take care of your body On being “normal”: Just be yourself *** If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving us a short review? It takes less than 60 seconds, and could make a huge difference in spreading the word of these inspiring/courageous conversations.
