Grieving Someone Who Is Still Alive — Ambiguous Loss, Emotional Abandonment, and the Grief Nobody Gives You Permission to Feel

Forgiveness Is Not a Permission Slip — What It Actually Looks Like When Nobody Is Watching

I did not forgive my ex-husband intentionally. I just woke up one day and the charge was gone. And the woman he had the affair with? I ran into her unexpectedly. And what came out of that conversation was not what I planned. This episode is about what forgiveness actually looks like. Not the version we were taught. The real one — messy, unplanned, and entirely for your peace. 🎙️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/found-at-17/id1893791096 🎙️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4eBLOSxvR2AUF3jPrN8CDw 🔗 All links: https://linktr.ee/unfinishedrewrite 📅 Free coffee chat with Rosanna: https://tidycal.com/foundat17 Found at 17 — The podcast for everyone who was left without an explanation.

Ep 10: Dear 17 — A Letter to Every Adult Who Was Once Young and Carried Something Nobody Helped Them Name

This episode is a letter. Not to the teenager standing at graduation — but to the adult who was once 17 and stepped into the world still holding something nobody helped them name. I am proud of you. Not for what you accomplished. For who you are. For how hard you tried. For still being here. Topics: graduation, healing letter, abandonment wound, self worth, emotional healing, late discovery adoptee, women healing.

Ep 9: National Adoption and Foster Care Awareness Month--What Every Adoptee and Foster Child Need to Hear

I did not know May was National Foster Care and Adoption Awareness Month until I walked into a Wendy's and saw it. And I smiled — because God always has perfect timing. This episode is an honest conversation about what this month actually means to a late discovery adoptee who spent decades unable to say those words out loud. For the adoptee who never needed a month to know their story. And for the one who did. Topics: National Adoption Awareness Month, late discovery adoptee, foster care, abandonment wound, adoptee healing.
