Ep. #315 - Abandoned, But Not Broken: Lacey’s Journey of Resilience

from Kevin Polky - The Journey · host Kevin Polky

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Lacey, whose story is one of incredible resilience and transformation. Lacey grew up in a home shaped by the challenges of addiction. When she was just 12, her father passed away from cancer. A year later, she and her sisters were abandoned in Paris, France. When she returned to the U.S., Lacey entered foster care and lived with her grandmother and aunt until she was 17. Despite these early hardships, she found a way forward—earning her college degree and discovering powerful truths about herself along the way. What struck me most about Lacey is not just what she’s endured, but the strength, wisdom, and self-awareness she’s gained through it all. Her story is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we can find light—and sometimes, even gifts. I hope you’re as inspired by her journey as I was.
