You don’t have to foster to make a difference.

Packed With Purpose is a foster care podcast dedicated to delivering hope, awareness, and real-world impact.

Hosted by the team behind Care Package Inbound, this show shines a light on the often unseen realities of the foster care system — while proving that you don’t have to be a foster parent to make a difference.

Each episode features powerful conversations with social workers, doctors, psychiatrists, foster parents, former foster youth, biological families, and everyday people who are helping change lives in meaningful ways. Together, we explore the challenges children face when entering foster care, the emotional weight carried by families and professionals, and the small, intentional actions that can create lasting change.

Packed With Purpose balances honest, sometimes heavy stories with joy, humor, and hope. You’ll hear firsthand experiences that challenge assumptions, inspire compassion, and remind us that healing is possible — even years later. From emergency backpacks that meet immediate needs to stories that spark long-term transformation, every conversation is intentional and truly packed with purpose.

Whether you’re curious about foster care, looking for ways to help, or already part of the system, this podcast will inform you, encourage you, and empower you to make a difference — one child, one story, and one moment at a time.
