In this episode, I sit down with my half sister Jessica, the one I didn’t know I had until 23andMe connected us. She shares what it was like growing up with our biological father, and together we unpack the eerie parallels in our childhoods. I may have dodged one bullet, but I took another and somehow, our personalities still mirror each other in ways that feel both genetic and trauma-born. This conversation is raw, enlightening, and full of grace. We talk about childhood abuse, the tools Jessica uses to process her trauma, and why comparing pain never helps because trauma is trauma, and every story deserves space.
