The Unraveling Room with Liv

Hello Beautiful, If you've made it past the shock of adoption discovery and now you're standing in the quiet wondering... now what... this entry is for you. Today I'm sitting in something I don't hear people talk about much. The slow, unglamorous work of rebuilding after everything shifts. What it looks like when the grief settles and you're left with a regular Tuesday and a life that still needs...

Hello Beautiful, If you've been carrying anger that you don't know what to do with—anger that feels too big, too sharp, too "unchristian"—this entry is for you. Today, we're talking about the rage that lives underneath adoption discovery. The kind nobody warns you about. The kind that makes you feel guilty just for feeling it. But here's the truth: You're allowed to be angry. Not just frustrated....

Hello Beautiful, If adoption discovery made you question where you belong (in your family, your faith, or even your own skin), this entry is for you. Today we're talking about the survival pattern nobody warned you about: performing for belonging. Why it happens. How adoption discovery makes it worse. And what it actually means to rest in God's family without earning your place. You were never mea...

After adoption discovery, healing isn't just mental or spiritual—it's physical. Your body remembers what your mind tried to move past. The tension, the exhaustion, the anxiety that shows up without warning—it's not weakness. It's not spiritual failure. It's your body telling the truth. In this entry, we talk about: Why your body reacts even when your mind understands the truth How survival pattern...

The holidays and the start of a new year have a way of stirring things we thought were already settled. Old wounds resurface. Family dynamics feel heavier. And for many late-discovery adoptees, this season brings an added pressure to forgive quickly and move on before the heart is ready. In this entry, Liv reflects honestly on what forgiveness actually looks like after discovering you’re adopted b...

In this entry, I reflect on what it feels like to realize that the adoption story I believed for so long was not the full picture. I share how I once held an idealized understanding of adoption—not because I was naïve or in denial, but because that was the only perspective available to me at the time. Before I had the language, I trusted the story I was given. I built hopes, faith, and even my vis...

What does gratitude look like when your whole story shifts overnight? When the DNA results land, and suddenly the ground under your feet isn’t the same? In this episode, I'm speaking directly to Late Discovery Adoptee women who are trying to make sense of life after hidden truths come to the surface. This isn’t about pretending you’re okay or forcing a silver lining. This is about the kind of grat...

When the truth about your story unravels the identity you’ve always known, even your own reflection can feel foreign. After discovering I was adopted later in life, I found myself standing in front of the mirror, unsure of who I was anymore. If you’ve ever carried a secret you didn’t ask for, or felt the shock of learning something about your story that changed everything, this episode is for you....

Hello, Beautiful Letting go isn’t easy — and sometimes it feels like healing takes forever. In this tender entry, Liv opens up about the sacred, messy, and very human process of release. She reflects on how we replay conversations, cling to questions, and carry weight we were never meant to hold — believing that if we let go, it means it didn’t matter. But what if letting go doesn’t mean forgettin...

In this vulnerable entry of The Unraveling Room , Liv shares the moment her world shifted: discovering her adoption through paperwork she wasn’t meant to see. What followed was shock, grief, and questions that seemed louder than God’s voice. But even in the silence, He was steady. This conversation is about na...
