Hello, I’m Stacy, the host of Mothers, Lies and DNA Surprises Podcast. Thank you for being here. Today I am sharing Elizabeth’s story and our conversation!

You will hear Elizabeth share how she always felt different and even asked “why am I so different”. Through my journey and I’m sure so many of us NPE’s have we hear so many times how different so many felt as children, these feelings are real, unexplainable and is proof that even as very young children we understand what I call the nature vs nurture maybe.

Elizabeth’s story has an origin story that may be hard to hear for some as well as abuse, so here is a trigger warning for everyone. She shares in a very respectful way though.

Elizabeth also shares how she is taking care of herself and what outlets she is using to help not only herself but also others. She is working on a long journey of writing her memoir and wanting to give back to the community.

If you are looking for another great resource she is offering a free virtual post-holiday trauma-informed Yoga Nidra Sunday January 11th for the DNA surprise community. You can find and sign up for this free event on her website:

Hello, I’m Stacy, the host of Mothers, Lies and DNA Surprises Podcast.

Thank you for being here. Today I am sharing Lily’s story and our conversation!

Lily is the host of the NPE Stories podcast and I am honored to have had this time with Lily!

Lily’s honest conversation about what her relationship was like with her mother leading up to her discovery and how it has been since is something that hit home personally while also showing Lily’s strength, growth and how she used that to do better for herself and her family!

Another thing that I found interesting was hearing Lily talk about not only the emotional toll this takes on us but also how our bodies feel, hold on to past emotions and continue to feel those traumas.

Lily gives some great advice on taking care of your own mental health and wellbeing, and giving yourself permission to focus inward.

If you haven’t already make sure you find and follow Lily’s podcast, NPE Stories. Lily will be sharing my conversation with her on her podcast this week also!

Thank you Lily for your vulnerability, honesty and for sharing your story with us!

Hello, I’m Stacy, the host of Mothers, Lies and DNA Surprises Podcast. Thank you for being here. Today I am sharing part two of Rebecca’s story and the rest of our conversation!

As Rebecca’s story continues, she shares that first phone call with her raised father after he was told the truth about Rebecca’s paternity.

Rebecca talks about getting her control back after conforming her whole life for her mother. How she decided to do better than her mother at any cost, she wants to be a better human. The one thing I thought while I listened to Rebecca talk about her interaction with her raised mother and father is that it is like standing up to a bully really. They are manipulators that we’ve always had in our lives.

She will also share how therapy is invaluable. We talk about the grief of losing somebody that is still alive, which is very powerful to say that out loud.

Those of us with our Mothers still alive ask ourselves “how will I feel when I get the call that my mother died? Each of us have to answer this question for ourselves, Rebecca has a great perspective on this.

She wants others to know that you can come out the other side. That it’s ok to grieve the mother you never had.

As a bonus you will hear one of her pups interject during our interview.

Thank again Rebecca for sharing your story and for everyone who is here and knowing that we are not alone!

If you would like to connect with Rebecca you can find her on Facebook at Rebecca Neale or you can email me at mothersliesanddnasurprises@gmail.com.
