Episode Synopsis

Guests: Emily + the R225 Team (Nanci & Logan)In this episode of the Care Cast, we’re joined by Emily, a resilient and deeply insightful foster advocate who opens up about what foster care has truly taught her. Spoiler alert: it’s not about fixing kids or playing hero. It’s about building trust, showing up consistently, and recognizing that every child has their own story, rhythm, and way of healing.Nanci, Logan, and Emily talk candidly about early mistakes, the pressure to “do it right,” and how foster parents can reframe their role not as rescuers, but as relational bridges. The conversation is raw, reflective, and filled with wisdom for anyone stepping into the messy, beautiful world of care.This episode reminds us that the heart behind the help matters more than perfection.Next StepsLearn more about R225:Visit restoration225.org to discover how you can support, serve, or walk alongside the foster care community.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram: @restoration225Subscribe to the Podcast:Don’t miss an episode and follow Care Cast on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.Join Our Email List:Get updates, resources, and encouragement straight to your inbox.
