The Foster Care Conversation Nobody Wants to Have

from Uncontainable with Jessica Pilgrim · host Jessica Pilgrim

Foster care reform became personal for me. In this raw and honest episode, I’m talking about attachment, trauma, foster care, emotional stability, and the difficult questions I believe we need to start asking as a society. This is not about attacking people inside the system. It’s about advocating for children in a deeper, more trauma-informed way. We discuss: * attachment and child development * repeated transitions in foster care * emotional trauma in the system * grief within fostering * ICWA and complex conversations surrounding identity and attachment * why children deserve more than survival This conversation is emotional, nuanced, and long overdue.
