Who Am I Really? - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve listened to several adoptee podcasts and ALWAYS come back to this one because it’s my FAVORITE! I love Damon’s approach and how he asks all the right questions and respects every story shared. This podcast has helped me come through my journey and feel more confident in my identity and the beautiful, complex story that makes me who I am. Maybe someday I’ll share my story and help others the way this podcast has helped me.

I’ve been listening to Damon’s show for years now. It has truly been a blessing to me as an adoptee. Hearing other people’s stories who are similar to mine makes me feel less alone. Damon is a fantastic interviewer and overall great guy. I had the pleasure of being a guest on the show recently and it was a great experience. I also got to interview Damon for my own adoptee work. Very thankful for who am I really! 🙂

Thank you, Damon, and everyone who shares their stories. You have given me a great gift. Listening to you has given me a deeper understanding of the struggles my daughter may be experiencing. This understanding allows me to view the anger my daughter directs towards me, or at least some of it, not as a personal attack but as an outgrowth of the pain/trauma she suffered because of our separation and not that she doesn’t want me in her life. Which, in turn, allows me to view her actions with more empathy and gives me the strength to stay on the “reunion rollercoaster ride.”

Again, thank you. It is long overdue for society to understand the trauma caused by the separation of mother and child.

Respectfully,

Lynn

No one will believe me. People will think I’ve lost my mind if I open my mouth. No one will understand. I try so hard to fit in, but I feel like I don’t belong anywhere or with anyone.

If, like me, you’re an adoptee who’s experienced these thoughts once or twice (or thousands of times), then welcome home. Here, you’ll hear relatable stories from other adoptees, cheer on strangers whose lives may run parallel to yours, and see that you’re not alone & you do matter. Oh, and you’ll thank Damon for providing this fantastic forum forum for his fellow adoptees.
