100 Episodes. 2.7 Million Grandparents. Our New Home. 🕊️
|
Hi Family, When I started this journey, I knew the road for grandparents raising grandchildren was steep. I knew we were often "Invisible," doing the heavy lifting in the quiet corners of our homes. This week, we hit a milestone I once only dreamed of: Episode 100. To celebrate these 100 chapters of our story, we aren’t just looking back—we’re moving forward. I am thrilled to announce that The Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Channel is officially live on YouTube! ​[Link: VISIT OUR NEW CHANNEL HERE]​ This isn't just a place to watch videos; it’s our new digital boardroom. To kick off our launch week, I’ve uploaded a slate of powerful highlights to help you navigate this journey with a "Warrior’s Heart." You can watch these right now:
I have a small favor to ask of our inner circle: As we "soft launch" this channel today, the YouTube algorithm needs a signal that our mission matters. If you could click the link below, Subscribe, and leave a comment on the "Welcome" video, it tells the world that the 2.7 million children we represent are worth noticing. ​[Link: SUBSCRIBE & WATCH THE WELCOME VIDEO]​ Next week, I’ll be releasing the full video highlights from our 100th-episode milestone with systems expert Pat Hankin. But for today, let’s celebrate how far we’ve come. You are the Invisible CEOs of your families. Thank you for letting me be a part of your boardroom for 100 episodes. We are just getting started. With a warrior’s heart, Laura Brazan Founder of The 2.7 Million Project/ Host of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity ​Grandparent Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing through Adversity​ |

Legacy Builders Connecting Hearts, Nurturing the Future Vol. 1, No. 70 | February 24, 2026 Dear Family, I’ve spent so much of my life trying to keep my "work self" and my "grandma self" in separate boxes, terrified that if they touched, the whole system would collapse. We are taught to compartmentalize—to leave the grief at the door so we can execute our duties with competence. But in the Second Cradle, that door has been ripped off its hinges. This week, I sat down with Brad Hoffman, a...
Legacy Builders Connecting Hearts, Nurturing the Future Vol. 1, No. 68 | February 10, 2026 Dear Family, This week, the world is draped in red hearts and talk of "Golden Year" romances. But for many of us, Valentine’s Day feels a little different. We aren't planning cruises; we’re planning school lunches. We aren't looking at sunset views; we’re looking at trauma recovery. I recently sat down with Ruthie Shofi, a grandmother who went from owning a business and planning a "food truck...
Legacy Builders Connecting Hearts, Nurturing the Future Vol. 1, No. 67 | February 3, 2026 Dear Family, Last week, we talked about building the sanctuary with Dr. Dale Atkins—the decision to stop the "sprint" and start being the stationary point for our grandchildren. We talked about "staffing" our mission to avoid burnout. But what happens when that sanctuary is clouded by the ghosts of the past? What do we do when we look at our grandchildren and see the "unforgivable" traits of the parents...
