The 2.7 Million Project
The 2.7 Million Project
There are 2.7 million grandparents in the U.S. raising their grandchildren. We are a "silent army"—the unpaid safety net of our families—often navigating a second round of parenting while grieving the retirement we thought we’d be living.
Welcome to The 2.7 Million Project, a mission-driven series within the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity podcast. Hosted by Laura Brazan, this show is a sanctuary and a boardroom for the "Invisible CEOs" of the home.
Whether you’ve just received the midnight phone call that changed your world or you are years into the journey of healing family trauma, you’ll find the tactical strategies and spiritual anchors you need here. From clinical insights on secondary grief to the "Ghost Life" of kinship care, we help you move from "just getting by" to building a legacy of resilience.
You are the keeper of the future, and you are not alone. We are 2.7 million strong—still nurturing, and still here.
Our Top 3 episodes:
"The Heart of the Movement: Essential Listening" > "If you are new to the 2.7 Million Project, start here.
