Listen Later

Hey my courageous friends,

In this intimate solo episode of The Frequency of Courage, Megan Imbert opens her heart to share her deeply personal journey that has shaped her identity, sense of belonging, and understanding of love.

Adopted through Catholic Charities in the 1986, Megan reflects on a lifetime of curiosities around nature vs. nurture, belonging, and the mystery of her roots. After years of unanswered questions and emotional complexities, she takes listeners through her brave decision to search for her birth family, leading to the discovery of letters from her late biological mother and, ultimately, a heartfelt reunion with her birth mother’s siblings and their children.

Megan vulnerably explores the emotional terrain of:

  • Being adopted and raised in a loving family
  • Experiencing the primal wound and mother hunger
  • The grief of discovering her birth mother had passed
  • The profound healing that came from meeting biological relatives
  • Blending biological family, adopted family & chosen family of friends

This episode is a love letter to anyone who’s ever questioned where they come from, who longs for belonging, or who has had the courage to follow their heart toward truth, healing, and family whether chosen or biological. It’s also a tribute to her adoptive parents, her biological family, and the enduring, limitless nature of love.

Whether you're adopted, an adoptive parent, a birth parent, or someone navigating identity and healing, this episode offers heartfelt storytelling, wisdom, and an invitation to feel deeply and love fully.
