ESP Ep. 76 Delite Lago

In this moving episode, Delite Lago joins the show (the voice behind It’s a Good Day Podcast) to talk about the realities of building a show that lasts and the unexpected life journey that unfolded alongside it. Delite opens up about what it really takes to stay consistent in podcasting, how her show began, and how personal growth often runs parallel with professional creativity. From early life influences to sudden turns that reshaped her future, Delite reflects on how resilience was built not in moments of comfort, but in seasons of challenge.

The conversation then takes a deeply personal turn as Delite shares her journey through infertility, the heartbreak, the waiting, and the quiet moments of faith that carried her forward. She walks listeners through the emotional and spiritual preparation that came with adoption, the difference between fostering and adopting, and the internal battles that shaped her hope along the way. With honesty and compassion, Delite also speaks to the importance of empathy toward birth parents and the unseen layers of every adoption story.

As the episode closes, Delite’s story comes full circle with the joy of becoming parents and the overwhelming realization that their family grew sooner than expected. From an unforgettable naming story to the moment everything changed, this episode is a reminder that even in uncertainty, purpose is being written. Whether you’re navigating infertility, considering adoption, building something from scratch, or searching for hope in a hard season, Delite’s journey is one that will stay with you long after you press stop.
