Welcome to The Adoption & Foster Care Journey—a podcast to encourage, educate and equip you as you care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care and kinship care.
On this episode, host Sandra Flach talks with foster and adoptive mom, Madison Tyler. Madison a pediatric dietitian has worked for the world’s leading pediatric cancer research hospital where she supported patients and families optimizing nutrition during cancer treatment. Madison started her journey as a foster parent in 2017. That’s when she started to recognize many children entering care experienced challenges which affected their relationship with food, sometimes in small ways and other times in big ways. In 2024 Madison stepped away from her full-time job in order to spend more time with her family and help foster and adoptive families through Nourish with Connection. She has a deep passion for helping families navigate feeding-related challenges, build trust, and foster connection around the table.
