Have you ever felt like you were carrying a story no one else could possibly understand?

This week on the podcast, I sat down with a woman whose story moved me in ways I didn’t expect. Penny was adopted at the age of three. 

She didn’t learn the truth until she was sixteen, by accident. What followed was decades of anger, silence, searching; and finally, the unexpected joy of finding a family that truly embraced her, in her 60s!  

Our conversation isn’t just about adoption. It’s about the long journey to belonging. It’s about what happens when you finally let go of the anger you’ve carried for years and what’s waiting for you on the other side. It’s about choosing to thrive, not just survive.

Penny’s story is raw, real, and redemptive. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “not good enough,” or questioned your place in the world, I hope you’ll make time to listen. Her words stayed with me long after we stopped recording.
