On this episode of Groove with Portia, I sit down with Judy Ben-Asher, an amazing individual who graced Oprah's stage and is the visionary behind Truthseeker Wellness. Judy's journey unveils the profound grief she endured upon discovering, through a DNA test, that her biological father differed from the man she believed to be her dad.

Adding a layer of complexity, Judy's mother had already passed away, leaving her with questions that could never be answered. We dive into the deep trauma that this revelation brought to her identity and how she eventually found herself sharing her story on Oprah's platform, focusing on the powerful theme of forgiveness.

Judy's wisdom shines through as she dismantles the societal belief that grieving equates to being a person in pain. She emphasizes the importance of accountability, the strength found in community, and the invaluable support we can give and receive from one another.
