Greta: The Road from Loneliness to Self
About this episode
Greta shares her journey from loneliness and disconnection to healing and reclaiming her voice through storytelling and connection.
Greta, born during the Baby Scoop Era, grew up in silence and disconnection, carrying deep loneliness and questions about her origins while finding refuge in basketball, creativity, and a self-made “Ghost Kingdom.” After a complex reunion with her biological family and years of searching for belonging, she continues to heal through connection, recovery, and storytelling, reclaiming her voice and sense of self.
