Episode #181: Proudly sharing our newest show - The Parenting Experience with Tata!

Summary:

Raised amidst the vibrant culture of Barranquilla, Colombia, I, Tatiana, or Tata as my friends call me, faced a life marked by both love and challenge. My journey to the United States, sparked by a devastating heartbreak, unfolded into a path of unexpected trials and profound self-discovery. In our inaugural podcast episode, I share the complexities of growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father and the pivotal support of my two brothers. Through this narrative, I unveil how therapy and setting boundaries have helped me nurture a respectful relationship with my father, fueling my passion for supporting others in creating loving family environments. A significant turning point in my life came with a thyroid cancer diagnosis, just 18 months after moving to the U.S., as I juggled health battles and my mother's painful divorce. With the unwavering support of my endocrinologist, Carlos Coelho, I embarked on a path of self-love and recovery, learning to embrace my voice both literally and metaphorically.

This transformative period in my life became a catalyst for my mission to inspire others, proving that strength can be found in the face of adversity, and that sharing our stories can illuminate the path for others. Embracing motherhood through fostering and adoption has been another incredible facet of my journey. Together with my husband, Mark, and united by our shared love for basketball, we faced the heartache of infertility before discovering the joy of building a family through adoption. Our family's story, including welcoming Nikki, a courageous young woman with pancreatic cancer, underlines the resilience and unconditional love that define family beyond biological ties. As you listen to our experiences, we hope to foster a community of hope and encouragement, showing that no matter the path, there is always light and purpose in the journey of parenthood.
