S3E39 - A PLAYLIST FOR A MISUNDERSTOOD POPULATION. LORI EVANS ERMI, ADOPTION SONGS

Mind Your Own Karma – The Adoption Chronicles

Lori Evans Ermi (she/her) wears a lot of hats! Lori is an adoptee, adopter, daughter, step-daughter, step-sister, half-sister, step-mother, single mom, entrepreneur, and former corporate executive now Professional Certified Coach and leadership consultant.

Professionally, Lori has over 30 years’ experience in corporate leadership and organizational development and she wants to use this experience to positively impact the Adoption Constellation.

The creation of her book Adoption Songs allowed her to use all her skills and to get to the core of people’s hearts and stories. She believes in coaching the whole person, not just a work persona. Research shows that when you can bring your whole self to work and life, your productivity and happiness improves.

She wants to try and influence the mainstream —those who believe adoption is beautiful and have never asked an adoptee what it is like to be adopted.

What she discovered in the research of Adoption Songs is a unique condition that many adoptees face in their world, and that is of belonging and identity. This offering is intended to enable those curious about this misunderstood population to be a resource, to be a conversation starter, and inspire adoptees to search for their identity.

She is hopeful Adoption Songs can create insight into this phenomenon so that everyone who can relate can seek the support to move beyond adoption's limitations and emerge more grounded, connected, renewed, and purposeful.

Mind Your Own Karma–The Adoption Chronicles Podcast educates listeners on the realities of adoption through the stories of adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents. We delve into their journeys, exploring identity, the emotional impacts of adoption, and the complexities that are involved when a child is removed from their biology.

We also tackle tough topics like transracial adoption and adoption ethics, featuring experts and advocates. By sharing these diverse perspectives we hope to not only educate the world, but also give ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠hope and healing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to those deeply affected by adoption trauma.

***This podcast's mission is on adoption education. If you have an expertise that you think would be beneficial to anyone touched by adoption and would like to be on the podcast, get in touch with me.
