Episode 31 | Lisa Ayton
Born in Toronto, Ontario in 1965, Lisa always knew she was adopted. It wasn't until age 56 when she read the book "Attached" about attachment styles and subsequently "The Primal Wound" that she began to make sense of a life long nagging feeling "What is wrong with me?" From books, to therapy, breathwork and plant medicine, Lisa is here to share her adoption story & healing experience.
