Today, we have the pleasure of introducing Janet Sherlund, a remarkable individual whose life story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Janet dedicated her life to raising her family and serving on nonprofit boards in education, health, and the cultural arts. However, her journey truly began with a profound life event: being given up for adoption at birth. This experience left her feeling as though she was living a &quot;borrowed life,&quot; affecting her sense of trust and self-worth.</p><p>In her memoir, &quot;Abandoned at Birth,&quot; Janet delves into her lifelong quest to find her biological mother, hoping to finally feel a sense of belonging and connection. Her book is more than just a personal achievement; it raises awareness about the complexities of adoption, loss, and grief, highlighting that it takes more than love to heal from such trauma.</p><p>Janet&apos;s resilience and dedication to her cause are truly commendable. A graduate of Colgate University, she now lives on the beautiful island of Nantucket with her husband of 45 years. Listen in as we dive into Janet&apos;s compelling story and explore the themes of identity, family, and self-discovery.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/610366/open_sms">Send a text</a></p><p>Welcome to another impactful episode of our podcast! Today, we have the pleasure of introducing Janet Sherlund, a remarkable individual whose life story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Janet dedicated her life to raising her family and serving on nonprofit boards in education, health, and the cultural arts. However, her journey truly began with a profound life event: being given up for adoption at birth. This experience left her feeling as though she was living a &quot;borrowed life,&quot; affecting her sense of trust and self-worth.</p><p>In her memoir, &quot;Abandoned at Birth,&quot; Janet delves into her lifelong quest to find her biological mother, hoping to finally feel a sense of belonging and connection. Her book is more than just a personal achievement; it raises awareness about the complexities of adoption, loss, and grief, highlighting that it takes more than love to heal from such trauma.</p><p>Janet&apos;s resilience and dedication to her cause are truly commendable. A graduate of Colgate University, she now lives on the beautiful island of Nantucket with her husband of 45 years.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/610366/open_sms">Send a text</a></p><p>Lisa Fuller, founder and Lead Counselor at a local educational consulting company, College Primed, is our special guest this week. College Primed was birthed out of Lisa’s love of helping high school students develop compelling resumes and experience varied fields of interest. It was also the feedback from some of the students reporting back a lack of attraction to their primary industry of choice that Lisa learned to appreciate how such early discoveries could help the students pursue more appropriate majors and colleges, thereby saving time and money.</p><p>If you have a young school age child or know someone who does, this podcast is definitely for you. Listen to learn the ins and outs of college preparation. Lisa tells us how it&apos;s never to early to start planning for college and that college preparation should start the moment you decide to have children. Enjoy the podcast and be sure to share with your friends, family and neighbors.</p><p><br/><b>Please subscribe, tell your friends and visit us often at www.earringsoff.com.

Today, Lou and Teresa revisit that subject with a return to an earlier podcast and share specific COVID-19 resources which hopefully will lighten the load. </p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://square.link/u/vmPAuTzj">Support the show</a></p>]]></content:encoded>
