Permission to Feel: Healing from Family Secrets Part 2 EP 40

This is part two of the Emotional Expedition podcast where host Meghan Thomas is joined by KJ Nasrul and Brenda Winkle to discuss the journey Meghan went through after finding out the truth about her parentage.  This episode highlights the importance of language, storytelling, bravery, and how one person's story can help countless others. Meghan explains her fears of potentially having 50 to 200 siblings due to the lack of regulation in the fertility industry, and her struggle to accept the information she found.  KJ Nasrul introduces the concept of Internal Family Systems therapy, where healing comes from inviting exiled parts of ourselves back into our lives. Throughout the episode, Meghan discusses her struggles with embracing her newfound connections, fearing that she might be taking something away from the relationships she already has. Brenda suggests that stepping into one's power doesn't take anything away from anyone else and leads Meghan through a healing exercise to release personal power blocks. Meghan shares her experiences meeting her half-brother and half-sister, feeling a sense of belonging and discovering shared traits and experiences. She expresses her curiosity about meeting her biological father, and learning more about her genetic background. The conversation touches on the impact of shared experiences, nature versus nurture, and the importance of owning one's story. Meghan's journey continues, with the goal of helping others connect and understand themselves through sharing her story.
