Stay ConnectedSeries 2: The 2.7 Million Project
Description: There are 2.7 million grandparents in the U.S. currently raising their grandchildren. We are a “silent army”—the unpaid safety net of America—often grieving our “Retirement Version” of life while navigating school runs, legal hurdles, and midnight fevers.
Welcome to Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity. In Series 2, we launch The 2.7 Million Project, a mission dedicated to helping the nearly 3 million kinship caregivers in this country move from survival mode to intentional leadership.
I’m your host, Laura Brazan. Four years ago, a midnight phone call changed my life, turning my “quiet retirement” into a sacred rescue mission. Now, I’m sharing the raw truth, tactical strategies, and spiritual anchors needed to lead your family through adversity. Whether you are in the “Shock Zone” of a new placement or navigating the long-term complexities of trauma and secondary grief, this show is your boardroom and your sanctuary.
Through personal narratives and interviews with world-renowned experts like Dr. Dale Atkins, Brian McLaren, and Dr. Kate Lund, we provide the toolkit you need to become the Invisible CEO of your family.
Inside Series 2, we tackle:
- The Loneliness of the Leader: Healing the family disconnect.
- Trauma-Informed Caregiving: Tools for emotional literacy and resilience.
- The Ghost Life: Moving through secondary grief and reclaiming purpose.
- The Spiritual Anchor: Finding peace in the messy moments of restoration.
You are the keeper of the future. Your path may be difficult, but your presence is the most sacred thing these children have. You are not alone. We are 2.7 million strong—still nurturing, and still here.
