216: Letting Go to Hold On: Amelia’s Story of Adoption, Loss & Self Love

In this deeply moving episode, Mitch and Mills sit down with their client and now colleague, Amelia Gow, to share a moment that shaped her life forever. At just 16 years old, Amelia found out she was pregnant—and made the heartbreaking decision to place her son for adoption. She opens up about what life was like back then, her mother’s reaction, the moment she let him go, and the turbulance that followed. Together, they explore the emotional weight of a system that offered little care or communication, and the decades-long ripple effects of that experience. Now, 20 years later, Amelia reflects on meeting her son’s parents, reconnecting with her past, and how that journey became a catalyst for her own transformation. This episode is about grief, courage, identity—and the power of choosing healing when life gives you no clear roadmap. Raw. Brave. Unforgettable. Thank-you Amelia for sharing your journey.
