Taking the mindful approach to a DNA surprise

Welcome to the very first episode of the DNA Clarity and Support podcast! 

In this episode, Maggie Chenard shares with host Brianne Kirkpatrick the journey she has taken after a discovery less than two years ago that the father she has always known was not her biological father. Maggie is known as the Mindful NPE  on Instagram and Twitter, and she hosts a secret Facebook group of same name. Learn from Maggie’s experience how grief changes with time, the impact of an "NPE" (not parent expected) discovery on existing relationships, and what it takes to help those around you know how to offer the right kind of support.

Maggie Chenard is on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook as the Mindful NPE. Check out her social media posts and the other resources we discuss including:

  • Watershed DNA membership site //
  • Maggie’s interview with Eleanor Griffith on the Patient Stories podcast //
  • Maggie's Story on NPE Stories podcast with Lily //
  • The nonprofit organization NPE Friends //
  • The collective group of MPE/NPE support organizations and individuals
