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.

One Listener Said...

"I listened to this episode last week. Honestly I love the vulnerability you bring to your episodes. I think so many of us tuck this away (I know I did and still do). This episode is real, raw, and powerful. I think we all need to see this side. It helped remind me our emotions and what we’re feeling is okay and valid. We deserve to be seen. So thank you for this and your bravery. If I recall you say something “…you’re not behind…” and I had to smile because I deeply felt this as I was entering community”. I love your voice and the way you show up in the world. Big big hugs 🫶🏼💓"
