In Part One of this powerful two-part episode, Corey and Kendall sit down with Lisa, who shares the beginning of her journey into the world of unexpected DNA discoveries. Lisa believed she understood her place in her family — until a test revealed otherwise. What follows is a story of emotional whiplash: from excitement and curiosity to confusion, rejection, and deep grief.
DNA Doesn’t Lie, But Families Do
Lisa bravely opens up about the shock of discovering her biological parentage, the resistance she’s faced from those who hold the keys to her history, and the emotional toll of being shut out by people who could help her heal. Her story will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt erased, unseen, or denied.
This is a raw and unfiltered look at the emotional complexity of identity, truth-telling, and the cost of silence.
Topics Covered:
- The emotional shock of an NPE discovery
