How would your life be if you find joy whatever your circumstances? Joy, and even contentment, were completely alien to Doris growing up. She's one of those adoptees who got very, very unlucky with her adoptive parents. Now 58, Doris shares profound insights on joy no matter what - following terrible parenting, cancer and more. An incredibly empowering episode. I shouldn't have favourite interviews, but this is one because of the transformation it encapsulates. 

Here's a bit about her...

Doris Cardwell leads with a heart for foster families and the children they serve. Adopted herself, she believes every child deserves stability and every foster family deserves support. She works to ensure that SDKB’s resources reach the families who need them most, while building trust with partners across the state who share this mission. When she’s not working with her team or visiting churches throughout South Dakota, you might find Doris writing or speaking about the things she’s learned along the way.
