About Honoring My Kokoshnik

Welcome to Honoring My Kokoshnik, a podcast about my journey as an adoptee from Russia. Adopted at the age of three, I spent my early years in an orphanage before coming to the United States. In each episode, I share stories from my childhood, reflect on the emotional impact of adoption, and explore the powerful sense of pride I have in my Russian heritage. This podcast is a celebration of culture, identity, and family—woven together with stories of resilience, pride, and the beauty of embracing one’s roots. Whether you’re an adoptee, interested in Russian culture, or simply curious about the intersection of adoption and identity, this podcast offers heartfelt insights into what it means to honor where you come from.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
