Enough. A 6-Month Workshop for Adopted People Who Don’t Have Enough Money.

Our culture thinks adoption is the answer to a pregnant woman feeling alone and in trouble. In my experience, the problem didn’t end when my mother relinquished me to parents who purportedly had more financial resources.

Perhaps even in utero the mindset of alone and in trouble widened in time and space and became part of my core belief system. I can see now how as a child and then as an adult, my behaviors ensured I would live out this legacy of not-enoughness.

My sense is since I was created in the embryonic soup of not enough, this feeling became a home I naturally gravitated towards. My life, then, became about both participating in and causing the terror of not enough so I could be in a familiar state and feel safe. The tragedy is that what feels like safety to me, not enough, also feels like, and puts me in, danger.

What kind of life is this? It looks like a snake trying to cross the finish line while eating its own tail. It feels like hell.

The thing is, our culture also lives in a state of not enough. So many people live with debt and lack and fear, and so this becomes one more example where people will say, This issue is not special for adopted people.

I don’t agree.

This group is not for those people.

This group is for people who want to change their minds. This group is for people who would like to learn it is okay to take care of themselves and to feel safe. This group is for people who would like to trust themselves and understand themselves more. This group is for people who were adopted and who want to have the feeling they have enough money in their pocket or in the bank to worry about other things, such as who around them could use a hand or what to have for dinner.

Starting April 6, 2026, we will meet once a week on Tuesdays from 5:30-6:30 PM ET. The cost is $20 a month or $40 if you want to sponsor someone.

Come with an open mind and a willingness to be vulnerable and occasionally triggered. Where triggers live, constriction lives. Where constriction lives, money cannot flow.

You have this one life. You might as well spend it in a way that feels meaningful to you.
