Nancy’s second book COMING HOME TO SELF is focused on healing and increasing awareness about beginning of life trauma and how it affects our relationships with self and others. As a mother to both a biological and adopted child Nancy has devoted her life to educating others on the manifestations of separation and loss in adoption. Recently a stunning documentary film was created called Reckoning With The Primal Wound by filmmaker and adoptee Rebecca Autumn Sansom. 


Nancy has been so generous during the building of our platform, her supportive conversations and encouragement helped us continue. Having the chance to interview her was a privilege. This episode focuses on healing the specific wounds of adoption, self responsibility and how collectively we can move forward.
