   Why Foster Youth Voice Matters: Beyond Being Heard

   Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. (https://rss.com/podcasts/outreachwithreggie/voicemail) Why Foster Youth Voice Matters: Beyond Being Heard What happens when we stop talking about foster youth and actually start listening to them? In Episode 44 of Outreach With Reggie, Reggie Holloway explores Foster Youth Voice Month, lived experience, youth advocacy, child welfare, mental health, and what it really means to give young people a meaningful voice in decisions that affect their lives. Being invited into the room isn’t necessarily the same as having a voice. Being heard isn’t necessarily the same as being listened to. And giving someone a microphone isn’t necessarily the same as giving them influence. This episode takes an honest look at youth participation, youth voice, tokenism, decision-making, advocacy, and the importance of closing the feedback loop when young people share their experiences and ideas. Reggie also discusses the role of Selfless Love Foundation, which spearheads Foster Youth Voice Month each October, and its efforts to create opportunities for young people impacted by foster care to contribute to policy and child welfare conversations. Drawing from his own lived experience in foster care and years of youth advocacy, Reggie reflects on why lived experience belongs at the table—not simply as a powerful story, but as a meaningful source of insight that can help shape programs, policies, and solutions. This episode asks: What happens when young people disagree with the adults in the room? Are we actually listening—or simply looking for agreement? What power are we willing to share? And perhaps most importantly: What changes because a young person spoke? Foster youth are more than their case files, placement histories, and experiences with the child welfare system. They are thinkers. They are leaders. They are advocates. They are creators. They are people with ideas about what should come next. Foster Youth Voice Month isn’t just about amplifying young people’s voices. It’s about creating spaces where those voices can matter. Because awareness is a starting point. Action is where the work begins. 🎙️ Outreach With Reggie Conversations that challenge systems and call communities to show up.

   "The Wrong Dose of Therapy" with Dr. Stacey Krauss

   Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. (https://rss.com/podcasts/outreachwithreggie/voicemail) What if therapy isn’t failing you—you’ve just been receiving the wrong dose? In this episode of Outreach With Reggie, Reggie sits down with Dr. Stacey Krauss for an honest conversation about what happens when someone is doing the work in therapy but still feels stuck. Sometimes the problem isn’t a lack of effort. The type, frequency, or intensity of treatment may simply not be meeting the needs of the person receiving it. Together, Reggie and Dr. Krauss explore what it means to feel stuck in therapy, how to recognize when traditional outpatient therapy may not be enough, and where higher levels of care such as Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) can fit into a person’s mental-health journey. They also unpack the stigma that can come with seeking more intensive support, the importance of advocating for yourself, and why needing additional help should never be viewed as a personal failure. Because getting stuck isn’t the same as failing. Sometimes getting better means recognizing that you need something different—and having the courage to ask for it.

   Healing Your Inner Child: Learning to Listen to the Younger You

   Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. (https://rss.com/podcasts/outreachwithreggie/voicemail) Healing Your Inner Child: Learning to Listen to the Younger You What if healing your inner child isn’t about going back and changing what happened—but about learning to listen to the younger version of yourself? In Episode 42 of Outreach With Reggie, Reggie explores inner-child healing, childhood experiences, emotional regulation, self-compassion, boundaries, reparenting, relationships, identity, and the ways our early experiences can continue to shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. What did you learn about love, safety, vulnerability, asking for help, and being worthy when you were younger? What did you have to become in order to feel accepted, protected, or loved? This episode takes a deeper look at the parts of ourselves we may have learned to ignore—the child who needed reassurance, affection, protection, validation, or simply someone to listen. We also explore what it means to reparent yourself, create healthier boundaries, recognize familiar patterns, give yourself permission to rest and play, reconnect with childhood joy, and become the adult you needed when you were younger. Because healing doesn’t mean pretending the past didn’t happen. And it doesn’t mean blaming yourself or staying trapped in what happened. Sometimes healing begins with attention. What does the younger version of you need from you today? Maybe your inner child isn’t asking you to go backward. Maybe they’re asking you to finally listen. You are allowed to grow without hating who you used to be. You are allowed to understand your past without being trapped in it. And you are allowed to become someone new without abandoning who you were.
