The Intersection of Foster Care and Mental Health—What We’re Still Not Talking About

In this powerful solo episode, I open up about two deeply connected and often misunderstood realities: foster care and mental health. May is both Foster Care Awareness Month and Mental Health Awareness Month, and what I’ve learned—after 13 years as a foster mom and a lifetime witnessing mental health struggles—is that we can’t separate the two. Especially not when we’re talking about children aging out of a system that was never built to help them stand on their own.

You’ll hear my heart on why the current system fails teens aging out of foster care—kids who are legally adults but emotionally, mentally, and financially unprepared. I unpack the real cost of silence, from PTSD to homelessness to sex trafficking. And I challenge us all to ask: Would I show up for one? Because if you’re willing to stand for one, you may end up changing the lives of many.

This is not just an episode—it’s a call to awareness, action, and compassion. Whether you’ve lived this reality or you’re learning it for the first time, I hope this episode stirs something in you. Let’s stop whispering about hard things and start creating change—one story, one voice, one step at a time.
