S2E32 Race, Family and Forgiveness: Finding Myself at 40 with Kristina Talbot

Friends, What happens when a family secret changes everything you thought you knew about yourself? At 40, Kristina Talbot was settled in her career, marriage, and identity—until her mother, in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, revealed that Kristina’s biological father was African American. Suddenly, she discovered four siblings, a large extended family, and a biracial identity she had never considered before. In this conversation, we talk about: The impact of race on identity and belonging Navigating a parent’s mental decline while facing life-changing truths Meeting and connecting with new family members as an adult How forgiveness can heal even the deepest wounds Kristina’s journey is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to rediscover who you are—and to embrace the truth with courage and grace.
