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.

I started listening to your podcast last week after the post you made in the grandparent group on Facebook. It has been so helpful. This is a very lonely journey. I’ve heard people say they wouldn’t change anything. I would. I would change it so that my daughter is sober and seeing her daughter grow up. I would change so many things. I am grateful that I am able to care for her but the sadness I feel time she calls me mommy. Yes. I would change things to have a sober daughter that is raising her daughter. Instead, I am raising her child and I am waiting for the call that is sure to come. So yes, I would share my story if you’re interested in hearing it.
