Fostering Hope with April Lemieux (Part 1)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This conversation was so rich and divided, we had to slice it in two. In Part 1 of this episode, April Lemieux describes her experiences growing up in the foster care system in Montana. Hers is a heartwrenching tale of soul sacrifice in the name of survival. She's a powerhouse of strength and wisdom and, when it comes to mothers, she's known many versions and reflects on the early pieces of a story that brought her to be the fiercely loving mother she is today.
