This episode invites you to reframe your adversity story. As a product of the 1980s crack epidemic in the United States, I was separated from my birth mother and went into foster care. This story shares how I now understand my story decades later. I conclude with an empowering message that challenges us to reconceive how we perceive our adversity stories.
