Nothing Wasted

Hosted by sisters Misty Van Hooser and Mikayla O'Conner, the series follows two women who were separated by foster care as children and reunited as adults. One was adopted. One was not. They grew up in different homes, different states, and under very different circumstances, yet somehow remained connected by a bond neither time nor distance could break.Through honest conversations, they explore childhood memories, foster care, adoption, motherhood, family, resilience, healing, and the people who helped shape their lives along the way. Together, they revisit the moments that changed them, challenge old assumptions, and discover what it means to reconnect after years apart.This isn’t a podcast about what was lost.It’s about what survived.Sometimes the most meaningful parts of our lives come from the chapters we never would have chosen...and in the end, nothing is wasted.
