Healing Hearts: Parenting with Purpose-Support for Resilient Families, Support for Parents, Childhood Trauma Advocacy
Healing Hearts is a podcast aimed to help others parent with purpose. We offer support for resilient families as a beacon of hope and understanding for parents of vulnerable youth. Our commitment is to serve as an empathetic yet empowering guide for parents through the complex journey of raising children who face emotional, developmental, or behavioral divergence.
We create dialogues that inspire, providing practical solutions and unwavering support for parents seeking strength and compassion in the areas of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), childhood trauma, and the spectrum of developmental, behavioral, and mental health challenges. Our conversations are designed to arm parents with the encouragement they need to persevere. We offer essential and actionable mental health strategies and supporting resources for your journey.
In alignment with the core values of Speak Up for Kids in Palm Beach County, our podcast is more than a platform for discussion—it's a movement where every voice is heard, and each challenge is met with understanding and support, advocating for the well-being and thriving of every child and youth.
This podcast is a result of a student project done through STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids. Our student leaders are ambassadors for change and make a rippling impact in breaking the cycles of abuse, violence, and crime one child at a time.

The Emotional Journey of Closed Adoption: From Feelings of Loss to Finding Belonging With Julie McGue
“How do I navigate my child’s identity struggles after adoption?” “Am I ruining my kid’s life by choosing closed adoption?” “What are the long-term effects of closed adoption?” – Adoption comes with many questions for parents and adoptees alike. Unexpected challenges sometimes arise and throw even more questions into the mix. Today, Julie McGue, an adoptee and author, sits down with Rylie Heck and Sophia Mills to share her journey. At 48 years old, Julie discovered the effects of closed adoptions when a breast biopsy brought up many questions about the circumstances of her birth, her genealogy, and family medical history. Julie tells us about the stress of not knowing her biological roots and how she struggled to find the necessary health information. Julie has now published two award-winning books, is both a mother and grandmother, and has applied the lessons she learned through her hardships to every aspect of her life. Join us today as Julie shares her beautiful story and explains how adoptees can get out of the pit of feeling lost and start finding their belonging.
