  • Unconditional Love, Empathy & Human Connection with David Shane

    Unconditional Love, Empathy & Human Connection with David Shane
    Jun 25 2025

    Cate & Ty sit down with David Shane (@davidbshane), an adoptee who shares stories of love, mindfulness, and human connections on social media, but one day decided to share his journey of being contacted by his biological mother. David opens up about his upbringing, filled with open communication from his adoptive parents, which instilled in him a strong sense of self from a young age. He shares how the reunion with his biological younger sister, and eventually biological parents, came with emotional challenges and expectations, and the aftermath. Cate and Ty discuss with David about the fragility of life, the importance of overcoming fear in pursuing connections before it's too late, and the idea that not all reunions are positive but deserve to be explored with a strong support system. Drawing from his experiences, David offers advice for both adoptive and biological parents, emphasizing the critical role of unconditional support, open communication, and respecting the adoptee's pace during the reunion process.

With everyone having a podcast there is just so many options however not everyone has the niche for it. Out of probably a hundred different shows I've tried Ty and Kate are 1 of 3 go to listens for me.

I honestly wish they were robots so I could tune in and listen all the time.

I don't really have any connection to adoption besides I was a surrogate for a single indented mother and in Florida where we both live they basically handle it like an adoption even in our case where it was her egg and donor sp**m.
Carrying a child, caring for, loving ,not the one raising that child and watching them grow from afar comes with MANY STRONG feelings. I don't think there is any one right way to feel or handle it except always putting the child as the primary focus.
Aside from topics of adoption you can hear the genuine care and chemistry the two have for each other and their guest.
I'll keep tuning in for sure and maybe they'll decide one night they just can't sleep or something so why not jump on the mic to add a bonus episode to listen to

Could listen 24/7
