The Fostering Kingdoms podcast is a faith-anchored space created specifically for foster carers and those who support children through complex seasons.
Hosted by Jess — foster carer, wife, mum, and former Army service member — the podcast explores the realities carers often carry quietly: advocacy, identity, boundaries, grief, rest, and faith when things feel heavy.
This is not a podcast about doing more.
Each season explores themes such as:
Identity beyond the fostering role
Advocacy that costs you — and how to stand firm
Boundaries with systems and professionals
Emotional safety for carers and children
Rest, regulation, and nervous-system care
Faith as an anchor during difficult decisions
Episodes are designed to be listened to slowly, with space for reflection rather than urgency.
misunderstood for advocating
labelled as “too much” for caring deeply
spiritually tired from doing the right thing
unsure where to place the weight of hard decisions
This podcast was created with you in mind.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to be here.
If you’d like to continue the conversation beyond the podcast, you can explore reflections and resources throughout the site or stay connected via the mailing list.
Everything here is offered gently — without pressure or expectation.
