Thriving Chaos – Moving Forward with Vulnerability and Grace – Part One

In Part One of this two part episode Marcy explores the place that is often the hardest, especially in foster care – vulnerability. Acknowledging the pain that comes along with foster care caring for children from hard places from the perspective of a foster parent and a trauma informed therapist. The moments can be hard but they are real. Join us with vulnerability and grace to talk about it. Being vulnerable and acknowledging our own feelings in foster care brought on by the system, our kids, etc. doesn’t make us selfish. It makes us real.
