Thriving Adoptees - Inspiration For Adoptive Parents & Adoptees

Simon Benn

711 Episodes

Thriving Adoptees is a podcast where adoptive parents, adoptees and adoption professionals share what they've learned - often the hard way - to inspire and empower others.

We're all on our unique adoption journey. 

Thriving Adoptees helps listeners along their own learning curve by hearing insights others have gleaned along the way.

I was adopted at 5 weeks old and told about it so young I don't ever remember not knowing.

I didn't experience any adoption trauma until I hit 40 when I found out my childhood teddy bear was a gift from my birth mother.

This caused an eruption of anger, feeling rejected and unloved. That kickstarted a learning journey that led me to heal and then want to help others.

I created the podcast so guests can inspire listeners with their stories and empower them with their learnings.

Email me at simon@thrivingadoptees.com if you'd like to have a chat about being a guest on the show.

There were 16,000 downloads of the show in the first 12 months since launch - April 2021.
