It was the worst advice I ever received as an adoptive parent and, strangely enough, it turned out to be the best advice too.

Hi Neighbor,

If you’ve ever felt crushed by unsolicited advice 😣 or wondered if you’re failing your kids 💔, you’re not alone. Some words sting and stay with you—but sometimes, with time and perspective, they can also become lifelines.

In this episode, I share the story of how a piece of “terrible” advice was both the worst and best advice I ever received.

On its own, it wasn’t enough. But paired with a fresh perspective and the right support, it became a foundation for hope and healing.

Curious what it was? Tune in for an honest look at the adoption journey and the surprising wisdom hidden in hurtful words.

How do you navigate through the fog of life? I would like to suggest you consider relying on Someone with a better vantage point ✨. Someone who can shine the light on your path.

Hi Neighbor,

Adoptive life can feel foggy, uncertain, and overwhelming. Sometimes the best way forward is to slow down, trust a higher perspective 🙏, and let go of needing to see every step ahead. What would it look like for you to drive with “low beams” today?

In this special mindset episode of Anchors of Encouragement, I would like to suggest you consider relying on Someone with a better vantage point, Someone who can shine a light on your path.

We’ll consider this question in light of verses found in Psalm 119, Ecclesiastes 12, Micah 6, and Mark 12.

And finally, make a direct application to the adoption journey from James 1.
