EP #260 - The Healing Path for Adoptees, An Interview with Author and Podcast Host, Michelle Madrid.
Welcome to this episode of Empowering Chats with Susan Burrell. I have a very special guest today. Her name is Michelle Madrid and she has recently penned a book called, Let Us Be Greater: A Gentle Guided Path to Healing for Adoptees.
In her book, Michelle documents her own story of being an International Adoptee who was born in the UK to an English Mom and a Spanish Father. Her biological mom was married with 3 kids. Michelle was the product of her mother’s affair with a Spanish man, her biological father. Ultimately Michelle was placed in foster care in the UK when she was about 8 weeks old. She was eventually adopted by an American Family when she reached her young toddler years.
Michelle’s journey to learn how to deal with being an adoptee began when she was in college. She explored her relationship with her biological mom who would often dispense advice like, “C’mon time for you to get a stiff upper lip and move on.” OR advice from her adopted mother sounded something like this, “Just be grateful I saved you from a very hard space it's time for you to just move forward.”
Her life path guided her to seek answers and ways to help others who may have had similar experiences as an adopted child. Michelle has learned that the complex emotions and psychological turmoil of adoption — including feelings of anger, distrust, confusion, and unworthiness — are best healed through identification, exploration and understanding.
Written with compassion and authenticity, her book Let Us Be Greater helps adoptees and their families feel heard, seen, and understood as they work to build open, fulfilling and healthy relationships.
Michelle offers many healing practices for adoptees throughout the book. It is filled with exercises to help adoptees work through their challenges in order to tap into their authentic self. It is also a great resource for families that are considering adoption.
