S2: EP31: Redefining Your Normal

Today, I have the pleasure and honour to share a space with
Justin and Alexis Black,  Authors of  ‘Redefining
normal:  How two foster children beat the odds and
discovered healing, happiness, and love’.


Alexis and Justin both grew up in the foster care system.
 They met at college on a scholarship program for foster
youth  At first, their past traumas and their age difference
conspired to complicate their attraction. But the joy each took
in the other eventually conquered those obstacles.  They
managed to defy the odds, get healthy, and build a new life
together.


Guided by hope and a sense of purpose, as well as a desire to
help others who have similarly suffered, they learned to reject
the abusive patterns of their past, thereby breaking the cycle of
generational violence and neglect.


Since writing their book,  their world has opened up, and
are now embracing their entrepreneurial journey, supporting other
people in breaking generational patterns and creating a life they
would love to live.





We talk about and what you will learn:


Growing up as a foster child


Redefining or retuning yourself


Overcoming Trauma


Dealing with disconnections and negative emotions


Building healthy relationships


Creating your own family


Their entrepreneurial journey


Their book journey


Their internship program


Plus much more…… lots of advice throughout.
