🎙️ Fostering AfterCare: The Long Way, Together

Aging out of foster care isn’t the end of the story...it’s the beginning of a whole new chapter. But what happens when that chapter feels overwhelming, lonely, or disorienting?

Welcome to Fostering AfterCare, a podcast created for adults with foster care experience and anyone who wants to understand and support them better. Hosted by award-winning author and advocate Angela Quijada-Banks (Angie), this series blends storytelling, biblical wisdom, and practical tools for healing, encouragement to stay on the path and building a life far beyond survival.

This is a three season podcast following the series theme of " The Long Way Home". In Season 1, we’ll walk “The Disorientation of Aging Out” together. Each episode explores the real challenges and quiet victories of life after foster care; from identity and relationships to holistic health and faith. Through honest conversations and guided reflections, you’ll find reminders that you’re not alone, that your story matters, and that healing is possible.

Whether you’ve aged out yourself, love someone who has, or simply want to learn how to walk alongside this community, Fostering AfterCare is your space to breathe, heal, and grow.
