Very well written and produced. For me, slightly depressing, but for others it could be mentally helpful. The host seems like a very caring person and also good at untangling emotions. The four stars is because I cannot actually listen to the podcast because the host has a lisp and it drives me nuts! Why are there so many people with lisps hosting podcasts? 🤷‍♀️ Most people probably wouldn’t be bothered by it though!

Excessive amount of ads

I resonate with this podcast on a deeply personal level, having grown up in a toxic and dysfunctional home, a home ravaged by mental illnesses, alcoholism, unhealed generational trauma and the secrets meant to keep everything hidden. I would easily have given this podcast a five star rating were it not for the excessive amount of ads which repetitively disruptive each episode. As someone living with CPTSD and AuDHD, I experience frustration every time an episode is interrupted, affecting the flow of my focus on each guest’s story. While I understand the need for ads as a source of funding for the podcast, I have yet to experience such a excessive number in any other podcast. They truly ruin what could be a superb podcast.

Family Secrets. We all have them. And while the discovery of family secrets can initially be terrifying or traumatic, often these discoveries have the power to liberate, heal, and even uplift us. Join Dani Shapiro, bestselling author of the memoir Inheritance, and her guests as they explore astonishing family secrets and uncover the extraordinary lessons the truth can teach us.
