Talking-about-Adoption-Matters

ADOPTION MATTERS is a podcast with real people sharing real stories and getting real about adoption from all three perspectives of the adoption triad.


Join co-hosts Kim Noeth, a birth mother, Sharon Butler-Obazee, an adoptee, and Sally Ankerfelt, an adoptive parent as we explore difficult topics and share frank conversations guided by our commitment to truth-telling and truth-seeking.  In each episode we discuss important issues using adoption attuned principles to help us navigate even the most sensitive topics with grace and respect. Together, we model courageous communication, and help create a community where anxiety can be reduced, and mutual understanding can prevail. Whether you are an adoptee, a birth parent or adoptive parent, or a member of the adoption constellation, we are excited to share our stories, insights and support.

May 7th & 14th

at 7:00 PM EST 

While genes play a 10-33% role in our physical health, they can play up to a 50% role in our mental health.  Understanding genetic predisposition to mental health complexities such as mood disorders, focus or sleep challenges, and addiction can help to inform lifestyle choices and treatment plans. 

Part I presented by Wired BioHealth(TM) Founder, Dr. Evelyn Higgins. In this event on May 7th @ 7pm ET she will discuss how her team of wellness consultants analyze specific biomarkers to remove the guess-and-check method to mental wellness optimization through the inclusion of epigenetic & neuroscience testing.

 
Part II presented by our own Sally Ankerfelt and Sharon Butler-Obazee, on May 24th at 7pm ET.  In this event Sally and Sharon will share how coaching can help you integrate new information you receive from Wired BioHealth in a manner that will expand your knowledge of who you can become and how the information can enhance your well-being.

J.K.

“Some of the benefits I received from your coaching were thoughtful conversation … and brainstorming ideas to help me get through some difficult times … I would describe the coaching experience as relevant and thought provoking. I was accountable for myself because I knew we would converse next meeting on whether or not I had followed through”

R.K.

“”[My coach] is a fantastic coach. She is able to build good rapport and has extensive technical knowledge while bringing in the softer side of issues based on actual experience. I would highly recommend her.””

J.D.

“My GIFT coach “actively listened and understood my kids as Korean Adoptees. Each week I was given an assignment to achieve prior to meeting again. If I was unable to follow through on the assignment, we discussed my obstacles and challenges. [My coach] has a direct approach of continually challenging me by taking small steps toward my initial goal and eventually achieving it.”
