Our childhood, and how we are treated during that period of our life, has a massive impact on us as adults.

I think it’s fair to say we have covered stories of a variety of childhood traumas in this podcast and each one has been unique and stunning.

But one area we have not covered is the experience of being a foster child, and the situations that can lead to that.

This weeks’ guest is the incredible Raphaella Lees. This is the first time she has gone on a podcast to share her story of living in the foster system and she provides a truly eye opening experience

In this episode Raphaella share:

  • Her Foster Care Experience.

  • About losing her brother, and taking on the responsibility of her sister.

  • Feeling judged and attacked when asked about being in foster care

  • The stigma that is around foster care in our society

  • How she deals with her anxiety about her attachment issues

  • The grief and loss of foster family relationships.

  • How carers need more education.

Key Quotes

“I'm grateful for the person who made the anonymous phone call that put us into foster care, I think they really were a blessing and they possibly saved my life.”

“I think that’s part of the reason why I don’t remember a lot of my childhood. There’s a lot of trauma block there.”
