You asked for it, and she’s delivering. As a thrilling spinoff to The Real Adoptea Moxie – Introducing AdopTEA RealiTEA, One-on-One Virtual Table Talk Sessions with Pamela A. Karanova launching in April 2023.
For over a decade and a half, Pamela has poured thousands of hours into providing emotional labor to the adoption community. Most of the time, this labor of love has been behind the scenes, in one-on-one conversations and interactions with adoptees worldwide.
Navigating the reality that providing others with insight has created an emotional burnout in Pamela that has caused her to retreat, withdraw, and disconnect due to the overload of trauma dumping she experiences daily.
Pamela is taking on a new approach, opening up her schedule to continue these conversations by entering a self-care space. She is giving herself the rightfully deserved gift of being compensated for her endless emotional labor.
Creating a healthy balance for Pamela to host these in-depth conversations is a radical form of self-love for herself and the community she adores. However, this is essential in setting boundaries for her emotional and mental well-being while providing a service to the community she is so deeply passionate about.
Table Talk with Pamela A. Karanova allows specific days and times to connect more profoundly with those who seek soothing, validation, understanding, and acknowledgment from abandonment, rejection, grief, loss, anger, and rage from the adoptee experience. It’s a space for conversations between Pamela and adoptees and non-adoptees.
In addition, Pamela has created life-saving resources for the adoptee community. All of her efforts have been a labor of love out of the goodness of her heart, and she has never been compensated for all the work she has put into the adoptee community.
After 27 years of alcohol dependence to numb her pain from her adoption experience, Pamela has spent over a decade healing and recovering from relinquishment and adoption trauma.
As a result, Pamela has given herself the gift of being recovered and lives a joyful and nourishing lifestyle. Today, she’s well-versed in her healing journey and has a wealth of self-care tools that have helped her heal that she’s happy to share.
While she has built relationships with adoptees and others in the adoption constellation worldwide, she has a lot of wisdom, validation, acknowledgment, and understanding for anyone who would like to understand the adoptee experience more profoundly.
AdopTEA RealiTEA Virtual Table Talk Sessions are dedicated to facilitating difficult conversations about adoption, which can help foster a better understanding of the adoptee’s experience.
Pamela constantly has requests for one-on-one conversations with others in the adoption constellation. Virtual Table Talk will make that possible and foster a more profound connection than what’s allowed on today’s social media platforms.
You may be an adoptee seeking clarity, healing, or validation. Maybe you are married to an adoptee or have an adoptee as a close friend or family member. Maybe you are a birth mother trying to understand the child you relinquished for adoption. On the other hand, maybe you are an adoptive parent who is willing to understand and learn from Pamela’s lived experiences. Whatever your role is, Pamela has set aside time for you!
Time is money, and emotional labor isn’t free, and we must acknowledge this reality. Trauma dumping is rampant online, and we must be conscious and aware that emotions carry weight and affect other people. The entitlement that another person be indebted to care for us emotionally is something we should all reconsider.
So, to continue to invest in the adoption constellation in this way, Pamela is launching an exclusive platform for a small fee of $55 per Virtual Table Talk Session (one hour) while creating lifelong connections and conversations with anyone who is a part of her supportive community.
If you are an adoptee who can’t afford this service, please follow Pamela on Instagram and Facebook, where she will periodically gift Table Talk sessions.
This new adventure allows you to book one-on-one AdopTEA RealiTEA Virtual Table Talk Sessions with Pamela A. Karanova.
You invest in Pamela, and she invests in you.
