Welcome to Anchored in Love, a podcast by Juliet Anker — mom of a beautifully blended family, foster and adoptive parent, former surrogate, storyteller, and fierce believer that families are formed in more ways than one.

Here, we explore the real stories of motherhood and family — the ones we live through quietly, the ones that shape us, and the ones we wish more people talked about.

Each week, we dive into:

• The truth behind fostering & adoption
• Blended family life in all its messy, meaningful chaos
• Honest motherhood without the perfection filter
• Healing after illness, trauma, loss, and change
• Listening to our bodies and trusting our intuition
• Family stories that reveal our deepest connections

This is a safe space for the stories that matter — the ones rooted in love, shaped by resilience, and carried through the heart.

Whether you’re a parent, a foster family, navigating a blended home, healing, growing, or simply looking for a place where honesty meets hope — you belong here.

Sit with me. Let’s talk about what really makes a family.
