In the continuation of Jeremy’s deeply moving story, everything changes with one message: “We discovered we have a brother.” After a lifetime of being the family secret—unwanted by a mother who abused him, erased by a father who walked away—Jeremy took the risk of opening the door. And what came through was nothing short of transformational.

The Day I Was No Longer a Ghost

In Part 2 of this powerful two-part episode, Jeremy walks us through:

  • Reaching out to the man who abandoned him—and the cold reply he didn’t expect
  • The email from his siblings that knocked him to his knees
  • Holding a cousin’s hand for the first time and realizing, this is my family
  • The lifelong wounds of rejection—and how healing begins with being seen
  • The joy, awkwardness, and grace of building real relationships with newfound siblings
  • Why a “Gotcha Day” means more when you’ve never been claimed before
  • How love, when it’s real, doesn’t flinch

This is not a fairy tale. It’s better. Because it’s earned.

Through tears, therapy, and unflinching vulnerability, Jeremy built something stronger than a reunion—he built a family.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like to finally belong, this episode is for you.
