Can You Just Sit with Me in This Mess?


Listen Later

Longtime foster parent and foster parent trainer, Kaleo George, opens up about the messiness of foster care.

In opening up about her personal experiences as a foster mom, Kaleo also paints a picture of how to navigate foster parenting in a way that honors both the complexities and families involved — and the beauty that arises when you show up to stand alongside someone in the messiness of life.

Topics covered include:

  • Placement disruptions

  • Attachment difficulties

  • Grief after placements end

  • Savior complex

  • Tensions inherent to the foster care system

  • Relationships with bio parents

We loved our time with Kaleo (she had so many mic drop moments we lost track) and hope you do too!
