About a year and a half ago I spit in a tube and sent it off to 23andme to learn more about my ancestry. I ended up getting a little more than I bargained for… There have been some interesting and surprising things that have arisen since learning my father is not who I believed he was. In this episode, I'm opening up about the unexpected journey this revelation has taken me on - the searching, the surprising revelations, and the complex emotions that have surfaced. It's been an experience that has made me question things I thought I knew and see my past through a completely new lens. If you've gone through a similar story, I'd love to hear your story too. And even if you haven't, I imagine there are some aspects of this journey that you can relate to as well.
