Acerca de esta escucha

“Why can’t we connect?” It’s a question many foster and adoptive parents, like myself, have asked about attempting to build a relationship with a child God has placed into our homes.

What is it that keeps them from being open and receptive to your care? Could you sum it up in one word? You may choose words like trauma, detachment, defiance, or dysregulation, but I’d like to suggest a more helpful word: hunger.

This is Chef Kibby inviting you to join me for the Hunger for Connection Podcast. In each episode, I’ll be weaving together pioneering research, personal experiences, and practical advice that will help you to reimagine the challenges you face not as a problem to be fixed but a hunger to be fed. You’ll see that being fed is one of the most deeply-embodied relational experiences we have as human beings, plus you’ll learn how to use this renewed mindset to create a deeper sense of connection within your child, your family, and your home.

Let me come alongside you on your foster and adoptive journey by hitting the subscribe button. I look forward to helping you feed the Hunger for Connection. Until then, I’ll see you in the kitchen.

    Yes, I have kids.

    No, they haven’t always eaten everything I’ve put in front of them.

    In spite of all this, I stand by my statement: there is no such thing as a “picky eater.”

    This is not an argument over semantics but an attempt to understand attitudes and behaviors - both around food and otherwise - in a way that seeks to recognize the Hunger for Connection that is behind them.

    In today’s episode, we’ll look at the neuroscience of fear and safety and how something really good can make things really difficult - especially when it comes to getting children to eat their blue vegetables (see what I did there?).

    I hope you are served by this episode. If so, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend.

  • Thinking Outside the Box

    Thinking Outside the Box
    Jun 23 2025

    Sometimes people get stuck in a certain way of thinking. We see it all the way from international geopolitics down to kiddos refusing to eat their vegetables. It can be challenging to challenge someone else’s worldview - even in seemingly simple, small, harmless ways - in order to help them see the potential for joy and connection can be found when they step outside their box.

    This is certainly the case when caring for disconnected children. Why is outside-the-box so difficult for them, and how can we care for them in a way that expands their ability to receive compassion?

    In this episode of the Hunger for Connection, we dive into the neuroscience of small-box thinking and seek ways to help them stretch their boxes bigger.

    I hope you are served by this episode. If so, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend.
