Because adoption is more than a story.
It’s more than a file, a date, or a narrative we’ve been handed.

The Resilience Project Podcast brings voice, visibility, and validation to the parts of adoption society rarely names - but all of us feel. Through a trauma-informed somatic lens, host Julie Brumley explores the lived experiences of the entire adoption constellation, with a tender emphasis on the adoptee experience.

This podcast goes beyond storytelling into soul-telling. It offers embodied insight, compassionate education, and a path toward awareness, strength, and hope. Each episode invites listeners to understand adoption more deeply - not just with the mind, but with the nervous system - and to reconnect with the truth, identity, and belonging that were always yours to come home to.

This is where resilience stops being a performance and starts becoming a homecoming.

Meet Your Host — Julie Brumley

Julie Brumley is a trauma-informed adoptee coach, somatic healing practitioner, and the founder of Coming Home to Self.

Through her own lived experience and years of supporting adoptees around the world, she understands that adoption isn’t one moment — it’s a lifelong imprint carried in the nervous system, identity, and sense of belonging.

Julie brings a rare blend of compassion, grounded wisdom, and emotional clarity to every conversation. Her work helps people feel less alone, more connected, and deeply seen in the places that have historically been ignored.
