After spending over a week in my first foster home, my grandparents picked me up — just before my 13th birthday.
I thought maybe this was it.
Maybe I was home for good.
But just a few weeks later, everything shifted again… and I was sent back.
In this episode, I’m sharing what it felt like to go from hope to heartbreak — and the weight of being returned by the very people who had helped raise me. The ones who once made everything feel okay.
Because sometimes, what hurts the most isn’t what happened.
It’s who let it happen.
We also introduce something new this week:
The Rebuild Challenge — a small, intentional step to help you grow and give back, right alongside your weekly Broken to Built Reflection Question.
Wherever this finds you… you’re not alone in the undoing.
Let’s keep building, together.
