Are you a grandparent wondering if the small, steadfast acts of love you give truly shape your grandchildren’s future? Do you ever feel invisible, pouring your heart into healing generational wounds and wondering if your impact will last? Are you navigating the complexities of kinship care, trauma, and family resilience, looking for inspiration and validation along the way?

I’m Laura Brazan, host of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity. In today’s episode, “More Than a Grandmother—Kevin Lowe on the ROI of Kinship Love,” we bring you the heartfelt story of Kevin Lowe, a motivational speaker and podcaster whose life was transformed by the love of his grandmother after losing his sight at 17. Kevin shares how his Nana’s unwavering support became the launch pad for a limitless life—proof that what grandparents do matters, even on the hardest days.
