Episode 147
E147: Unpacking the Pain: How Childhood Loss Shapes Adult Love: Guest; Julie Ryan McGue
In this powerful episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, I sit down with Julie Ryan McGue, adoptee, memoirist, and now a three-time published author, to discuss the complex emotions surrounding adoption trauma, identity, and grief.
Julie’s story is deeply personal—growing up as an adoptee, she always grappled with questions about her origins. But alongside her search for identity, she also carried the responsibility of having a younger sister with disabilities. When her sister passed away suddenly, it left an unshakable void in her life.
Throughout this episode, Julie shares:
🔹 The lifelong emotional impact of adoption trauma
🔹 What it was like growing up with a disabled sibling and the unexpected grief of losing her
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has struggled with belonging, grief, or the complexities of family dynamics. Join us for this heartfelt discussion, and be sure to check out Julie’s newest book for an even deeper look into her story.
