Summary

When Peter Mutabazi ran from an abusive home on the streets of Uganda at age ten, he never imagined he’d one day become a foster and adoptive father to more than forty children. In this conversation with host Ginny Yurich, Peter shares his extraordinary story of transformation—from a boy who had nothing, to a man who gives everything. He explains how one stranger’s act of kindness changed the trajectory of his life, what it really means to love a child through trauma, and why success as a parent isn’t about outcomes—it’s about showing up again and again with compassion and curiosity. Peter’s wisdom will stop you in your tracks. He reminds us that healing is slow, love is costly, and growth often happens in the smallest wins no one else sees. This episode will reframe how you think about parenting, empathy, and the quiet courage it takes to keep loving, even when you don’t know how the story will end.
