Ep 8: One woman’s shock at discovering she was the family secret
Description
Imagine discovering in your mid-thirties that you were adopted and had a whole other family that had been searching for you for years?
For Louise Wilkinson, dance school director and motivational speaker, this is exactly what happened when she received a surprise letter in the mail from her biological mother.
But rather than let this shock news upend her life in a negative way, the letter and the huge changes that followed, were an opportunity for Louise to invite more love into her life.
We chat to Louise about how she dealt with discovering this family secret and what it meant to her identity. She also reveals why the 'third act' is always the best and what it is like to become a grandma at age 46.
