About this episode
This is episode 014 of the Anxiety Ease podcast. This is a very special interview I did with Tim Maudlin from the podcast Anchors of Encouragement with Tim Maudlin: Biblical Mindset Support for Adoptive Parents. I reached out to Tim, essentially from a “tap” on my shoulder to re-connect with him. Sometimes my soul whispers to me and other times it shouts to “do what you can now” (Tim’s motto!). We have been in various similar Facebook groups, so I knew a little about his story of adoption. He started his podcast during July 2022. Go have a listen at all his episodes for support and encouragement at www.anchorsofencouragement. You’ll see why my soul wanted us to have a heart connection: as podcasters, humans in business, additionally as mutual adoptive parents. You’ll hear our stories of how we became adoptive parents “across the pond” are very, very different as well as our parenting journey’s. There is many, many adoptive parents out there who should never feel alone in their journey to become parents and our hope is you are encouraged and supported. It takes an orchard as you know I always say! What a treat to connect, learn and lift each other. Enjoy today’s episode! Wishing you ease & grace,Dr. Lisa HartwellP.S.
