Lani Elliott is a 60s Scoop Survivor who grew up in foster care in the small town of Abernethy, Saskatchewan. As a child, she dreamed of working in law enforcement, and at the age of 19, joined the RCMP as a special constable, hoping to one day become a regular member of the police force. Unfortunately, Lani’s dreams were shattered when her marriage ended in an unspeakable act of violence that left her with broken legs, homeless, and with two small children to raise on her own. These days she spends part of her time speaking out about domestic violence and giving hope to other survivors.

“I am a Transwoman”
Jodi Gray, winner of the 2023 Courage To Come Back award in Mental Health, speaks with Bernadine about being a transwoman. Jodi came from a childhood filled with severe abuse and poverty. This lead to anxiety and depression that plaqued her for decades and cost her jobs and relationships. The hardest relationship for her to lose was the one with her son, James. Jodi transitioned 8 years ago and now advocates for others. She has been a peer support worker and is the head of a housing project for transgender, two-spirited, and gender-diverse people. The primary message Jodi wants to get out there is that her mental health challenges do not originate in being transgendered. But don’t take my word for it. Come listen for yourself to this amazing woman.

What is it Like to be an Adopted Child?
Emma Stevens, author (The Gathering Place and A Fire is Coming) and US domestic adoptee from birth during the Baby Scoop Era, has survived layers of trauma throughout her life. She visits ReThreading Madness and delves into the reality that adoptees face struggling between being the good, adopted child in fear of being sent back and finding their own true selves whether it is around identity, biological family and background, or medical history. Whether you are an Adoptee, a Late-Discovery Adoptee, a Donor-Conceived child, or someone who has discovered that one of your presumed bio parents is in fact not through DNA or disclosure you will find this program of interest.
Emma also announces her transformation to dropping her pen name and using her real one: Linda Pevac.
