This week on Life Between Coasts, Leah welcomes Dr. Liz DeBetta—scholar, artist, activist, and adoptee—for a conversation that’s equal parts thoughtful and uplifting. Liz shares pieces of her personal journey through adoption and how it shaped her understanding of identity, voice, and belonging. Together, they explore how storytelling, creativity, and reflection can become gentle guides through life’s more complicated chapters. It’s a warm, engaging episode filled with insight, moments of clarity, and the kind of grounded wisdom that makes you pause, breathe, and maybe see your own story a little differently.
