In Episode 20 of The Purpose Playbook Podcast, Brian and Rich sit down with Jane Keenan, a passionate advocate for children in care and the driving force behind projects that challenge and improve the system.
With over 35 years in therapeutic work, Jane has dedicated her career to ensuring that children in care don’t just get by, but that they thrive. From working with young offenders at 19 to leading innovative initiatives like Storyteller, Fast Foster Family Transfers (3FT), and Path to Independence, she has spent her life finding solutions that give children and foster families the support they truly deserve.
Jane shares her journey, the lessons she’s learned from the children she’s worked with, and the powerful impact of storytelling, advocacy, and standing up for change. She also opens up about the challenges of pushing for systemic transformation, the future of 3FT, and why she believes fostering families need more recognition and support.
