Show Notes
Melissa drops wisdom on us this week about the intricacies of parenting for adopted, foster, and transracial families! We covered:
- The Guilt of Parenting
- Understanding and overcoming "blocked trust" and "blocked care"
- Attachment disorders and how it affects our relationships
- Using the enneagram as a tool for parenting - The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile (not an affiliate link)
- Multiracial families - the nuance of transracial families
Melissa Corkum is also an Empowered to Connect Trainer where she teaches Trust-Based Relational Interventions (TBRI), the brainchild of the late Dr. Karyn Purvis from Texas Christian University. If you are interested, her last book is being finished after her death and due to be published soon.
She offers a 21-day parenting course where you can learn what successful parenting looks like.
