Tay Does Life ... !

Hi! I'm Tay the creator, producer, editor and host of the Tay Does Life podcast. My podcast is a safe space where I get a snippet into the lives of people who have or are going through hardships! I am a 23 year old care leaver who has been a victim of negative stereotypes the majority of my life, this podcast is my way of fighting back and giving a voice to those who may be in a similar situation.

My podcast is split up into four categories foster care eps, awareness eps, chit chat eps and tv talk. Basically there is something for everyone here <3

New eps are out EVERY Friday! Feel free to give me a drop me a line on Instagram @tay_does_life_podcast if you have any questions or want to get involved!

TRIGGER WARNING - MENTAL HEALTH, PHYSICAL HEALTH, ABUSE, ASSAULT, FOSTER CARECare Day 2023 - A day to celebrate the rights of care experienced young people and children.Summary - I went into foster care when I was four and I had a bumpy ride, I want to share my experience in order to make change in the care system. I feel truly blessed in my life right now but I didn't used to feel this way. I am currently surrounded my family members who do love and care for me, friends who have my back and a relationship where I smile ear to ear every minute but it wasn't always like this. There was a time where I thought ending it all would be the only way out of the path I found myself on. I am so glad that I didn't end it but I am here and I am happy and healthy. That isn't to say I have full moved passed my traumatic past but I am learning to deal with it.
