Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity

The Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Podcast

Are you a grandparent raising grandchildren, an aunt, uncle, or another relative stepping in to provide a stable home? You are a kinship caregiver—the "Invisible CEO" of your family. While the road is often steep, you are not walking it alone.

Hosted by Laura Brazan, The 2.7 Million Project is the dedicated digital boardroom for the millions of families navigating the complexities of kinship care. Our mission is to move families from a state of crisis to a state of family resilience by providing the tools, expert insights, and community support you need to lead your home with a "Warrior’s Heart."

In our boardroom, we tackle the topics that matter most:

Emotional Literacy: Learning how to identify, understand, and respond to the complex feelings of both the caregiver and the child.
Trauma-Informed Care: Practical strategies for raising children who have experienced loss, abandonment, or the impact of a parent’s addiction.
Family Resilience: How to rebuild the family tree and maintain your own well-being while navigating second-time parenting.
Kinship Caregiver Resources: Expert advice on legal guardianship, financial assistance, and the "Invisible CEO" framework for sanity.

With 100+ episodes featuring experts in child psychology, systems management, and family dynamics, we provide a trauma-informed lens on the everyday challenges of grandparents raising grandchildren. Whether you are looking for ways to foster emotional literacy in your home or simply need to know there is a village behind you, you have found your home.
