  • Healing with you

    This podcast has been an important part of my healing journey since I found out my Dad wasn't my biological father nearly 5 years ago. Lily's calm voice and ability to expose the raw emotion from these shocking DNA truths have helped me process. Listening to the guests share their stories is comforting knowing I'm not alone. I've been able to heal with you all, thank you!

    When I found out I was an NPE this is the first podcast I could find on the subject and it has helped me tremendously! It’s amazing hearing everyone’s different stories and has helped me navigate my own NPE journey. So many great resources and advice as well!

  • Everything

    Finding out I am an NPE was extremely isolating. After a while I found this, my first NPE podcast, and it has helped enormously. Almost every episode has me shouting “YES!! Exactly!!” and the host is so empathetic, asks just the right amount of questions and lets the guests tell their stories. It brings a sense of community that fights back against the isolation. I’ve cried, I’ve laughed, I’ve calmed and I’ve learned so much. The podcast is a godsend. Thank you.

  • Excellent podcast

    I am not an NPE & knew very little about this subject until I read Dani Shapiro’s book & then started listening to her podcast. The toxic consequences of keeping secrets comes up repeatedly in all these heart-wrenching stories. My heart goes out to all these NPEs who are victimized by self-centered, narcissistic adults (parents) & other family members who continue the legacy of ‘protecting’ the perpetrators (parent/liars) & punishing the innocents (NPEs). They should be ashamed!
