Alternative Talk- 1150AM KKNW

Michelle Madrid is the author of Let Us Be Greater: A Gentle, Guided Path to Healing for Adoptees and host of the Electricity of You Podcast. She is an international adoptee, former foster child in the UK, and an adoptee empowerment life coach who has been recognized as an Angels in Adoption® Honoree by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI) and inducted into the New Mexico Women’s Hall of Fame for her work in adoption. Adoption is a lifeline of support and opportunity for thousands, but it also brings challenges and emotional conditions that are often silenced or left unaddressed, including PTSD, risk of suicide, and fear of abandonment. Madrid, who was adopted as a baby from the UK by an American couple, has experienced the complex emotions and psychological turmoil of adoption — like anger, distrust, confusion, unworthiness, and feelings of involuntary exile — firsthand. The exercises and stories, affirmations and awakenings, she offers in the book give adoptees the tools they need to heal these issues through identification, exploration, and understanding.
