Taking the mindful approach to a DNA surprise
Description
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.
