KRISTIN: ON KINSHIP CARE + TRANSRACIAL ADOPTION + BUILDING SECURE ATTACHMENTS
I got to chat with Kristin Berry for the THIRD time - that’s right, THIRD time - for this week’s episode of Real Mom Podcast. I’ve had Kristin on 3 times because she is just gold and has so much to offer in the world of foster care and adoption and attachment and trauma and all. the. things. Kristin is a bio mom, adoptive mom, former foster mom, kinship caregiver, author, speaker, podcaster…she just wears all the hats…and I have learned so much from her over the years and can’t help but share her with you! Today, we chat all things kinship care, race in our country, transracial adoptive parenting, and building secure attachments with our children. We had such a great time chatting and I am just so honored to sit and chat with these amazing women and then share our conversations with you. So grab yourself a hot cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy listening in!
The intro song, The Source, is brought to you by one of the best new worship bands out there, The Evidence. Yes, the frontman is my (talented, brilliant, adorable, Jesus-loving) cousin. No, that's not why I love them.
Kristin shares about her podcast and a recent interview that really impacted her - you should definitely check out their entire podcast - The Honestly Adoption Podcast - and listen in to all of its goodness!
How different would your parenting be if you had a better understanding of your child’s trauma history? Kristin’s and her husband, Mike’s, latest book - Securely Attached - was written to help transform your parenting and we chat all about it in this episode. Grab your copy here!
Mike and Kristin offer just so much goodness through The Honestly Adoption Co. but one thing I HAVE to share about is their Trauma Knowledge Masterclass - a course that helps you understand trauma, make sense of behaviors, and build a secure attachment with your child.
