Australian Adoption Podcast - My Unknown Truth
My Unknown Truth is a podcast sharing the stories and lived experiences of Australians who have been through adoption and foster care.
These stories are often complex, spanning over 50 years and touch on difficult truths, from growing up in an under-resourced system to Australia’s traumatic history of forced adoptions and Stolen Generations.
But within the darkness, there is also light; stories of hope, courage, resilience, and love. Hosted by Nadia Levett, an adoptee born and raised in Australia, this podcast is a deeply personal project.
It’s my wish that by sharing a range of voices and experiences, we can build greater awareness and understanding around adoption and foster care in Australia, spark informed conversations, and encourage others to share their truth, open hearts, minds, and homes to children in need.

Episode 47- Nadia Nauss: Repairing The Self Through Embodiment
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back to Part 2 of my conversation with Nadia Nauss. If you listened to the first half, you’ll know how beautifully Nadia speaks about the body, safety, and the slow work of coming home to yourself.
In this second part, we go even deeper. We explore the younger parts inside us, the ones who learned to adapt, perform, or disappear to stay connected. We talk about boundaries, intimacy, emotional release, and what it means to build relationships that feel safe enough for authenticity.
For adoptees and people with foster‑care backgrounds, these themes land in such a tender place. So many of us carry early patterns that still shape how we show up in our adult relationships, our bodies, and our sense of self.
Nadia brings a softness to all of this, a way of speaking about healing that feels spacious, grounded, and deeply human.
So let’s drop back in, and pick up where we left off.
