Thriving Adoptees - Healing, Inspiration & Empowerment For Adoptees
By Simon Benn
We are all at different place on the thriving spectrum.
We will be moving along that spectrum for the rest of our lives - learning and healing.
Thriving Adoptees helps you along your unique journey with insights from your fellow adoptees.
So that their learnings catalyse learnings in you.
Each episode explores topics such as healing insights, epiphanies about identity and handling rejection.
So why do I love doing the podcast?
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 conscious 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 along their unique healing curve, empower them with their learnings and insights and ultimately help them see their infinite worth.
Most podcasts for adoptees focus on stories, we focus on transformation.

There have been 71,000 downloads of the show since launch in April 2021.
