I just found out days ago that I am an NPE. It has been very overwhelming, not really anyone to talk with about this as mostly don’t get what this means. People say things like..at least you had a family…etc, etc. NOT HELPFUL. Hearing these stories help. This whole process has caused a lot of...Read full review »

I am not a NPE but a half sibling found by a NPE. I have listened to every episode to date. It has helped me understand and be supportive of my NPE brother’s journey. He has been a blessing. Thank you Lily!

This podcast has been so helpful in allowing me to understand and accept this change in my life. It lets me know that I’m not alone and has helped me to not feel the shame that I felt in the beginning.

Excellent podcast and extremely helpful. I love the format and the easy conversations that take place. This is a safe place to come to and learn.
Gigaroni58 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/23
This is so elegantly produced. I’ve listened to every episode at least 3 times, and I get so excited for each new one. Thank you! One thing. Guests should be told not to write and read their stories. Difficult to follow. I’m sure they do so because they’re anxious, but it’s hard to listen. I...Read full review »

I can’t begin to explain how much this podcast helped me and guided me through a very tough time in my life. The stories made me feel like I wasn’t alone. I can’t thank Lily enough for putting this out in the world, for NPE’s like me who are trying to process a new identity. If you are an NPE,...Read full review »

This podcast has been such support and a literal life saver after finding out a DNA surprise in my mature years. Lily is a very wonderful, compassionate listener and understands because she too is an NPE. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
SilverTear8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/23
I am not an NPE but this is one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. Lily’s way of “interviewing” almost seems like a therapy session for a lot of people that find themselves discovering this life changing news. I appreciate how she just listens and only asks questions when something may need...Read full review »

I loved this episode. Thank you!
mysticmichaela via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/23
The stories here are so enlightening and often times, sad. I myself, am not an NPE, but after obtaining my DNA results, found that my deceased father is. A few days before his death, he expressed his sadness that his mother, who placed him in a foster home, didn’t come back for him. The BCF that...Read full review »

I love this podcast Lily, It’s helpful in navigating through all the roller coaster feelings of being NPE !! Love hearing all the stories and you always ask important questions. Thanks for providing such a therapeutic tool for us NPE’s.

@GloAnderson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/22
In listening to NPE stories and Lily the NPE host, I am ever so grateful for this NPE Podcast. Lily is so gracefully sincere. As an NPE and finding out two year ago, I can’t thank you enough ! The NPE stories are so heartfelt. It feels better to know we are not alone in these journeys. Kindly~...Read full review »

Listening to other’s experiences have helped me to heal and put my own emotions into perspective. Love this podcast and the peace it has brought to me!

What an amazing podcast. Seriously, this Podcast got me through the darkest part of my NPE journey. Lily is awesome. Total genius. What a platform she’s created for people to just share from their heart.
Don@mac via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/22
Don is a good storyteller in relaying his complex family constellation. I've subscribed to his podcast too. I was a little confused when he referred to Mexico a few times. I think he meant NEW Mexico? I have listened to many many NPE podcasts and I think the reason for the prevelance of...Read full review »

I am not sure why it took me so long to find this podcast. It is so nice to now I am not alone. I have always known I had a different father but I just never knew him. I know him now. These pod cast are helping me with my emotions.
Stess43 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/22
This podcast is a labor of love for its creator. She simply allows people to tell their uncensored story. There are no ads and no sponsor. I am grateful for this non-commercial approach to sharing an important issue around the planet. Do yourself a favor and just listen to the storytellers...Read full review »

After discovering I was an NPE in 2021, this podcast was one of the first resources I found that made me feel not so alone in my discovery process. They’re real raw stories that are so helpful to the NPE community and I’m thankful this podcast exists.
Crystalrox83 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/22
Thank you Lily for this wonderful podcast. Your soft kind and considerate approach to letting NPEs share their stories in a safe place is so supportive and caring. These podcasts have helped me greatly over the last few months since my own discovery.
dreambig777 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/20/21
This podcast is a lifeline. After I found out I was an NPE I listened to almost every episode and it helped me untangle my own hairball of emotions and not feel so alone.
Momma_cat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/21
Thank you, Lily! Finding your podcast early last year helped me more than therapy or the fb groups! These stories have helped me feel less alone. I have so much gratitude for you and the people that have shared their stories.
angelsly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/01/21
Thank you for bringing our stories to life and helping us to heal. I urge everyone to listen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
NPEOnly❤️ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/21
I love Lily’s podcast because unlike some other podcasts she features regular people— our friends-our neighbors - people in our communities. I get so much out of listening to the stories. Thank you Lily and her guests for providing support to us NPEs.
Allison Hardin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/21
As I listen to the stories I find myself nodding in agreement and even talking to my phone agreeing with the stories that these people are telling. A lot of them are stories of my life. Emotions I’ve felt, the way my family responded ... it’s amazing to see all of the similar emotions and actions...Read full review »
Tootiredtotruck via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/21
I have enjoyed these stories so much. I find myself nodding my head at so many similarities to other NPE’s when hearing them. My daughter gave me Ancestry December 2018 as a gift because I told her that’s what I wanted. My results came in 2/1/2019 and at the top of my matches listed a man’s name...Read full review »
DNA Deb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/21
I found out via an Ancestry.com test in 2018, and this show makes me feel like I’m not alone. Thank you, Lily, and all of your amazing and brave guests who share their stories. This isn’t something that even my closest friends and family understand - but you guys do ❤️

I am not an NPE, but I cannot get enough of this podcast. I look forward to every episode.
palirish via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/21
I’m an NPE. I recommend this to all listeners. Good job, Lily.
Dawnlandia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/20
First off, I am not an NPE nor do I know of anyone who is. I just find this subject matter so interesting. The host of the podcast seems so compassionate and calming that you would feel comfortable spilling your whole NPE story to her! I wish she would post more than one episode a week❤️
WellIntended via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/20
The last episode...”scott’s story” 8/05/2020...was probably the best yet! What an amazing take he has on his situation and overall view of his “new” life! Down to earth and such a real guy! I wish he was my therapist lol. Great Episode!!! 👍🏽👍🏽
Tim260 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/20
Lilly was made for this. She lets the people tell the stories without interruption and she has such a beautiful and gentle way of supporting the person while they tell the story. Thank you for this podcast! I had a woman contact me on Ancestry last week who found out she was an NPE and I...Read full review »

I appreciate that this podcast is created by an NPE who truly understands the emotional rollercoaster involved. I love this Podcast and believe it is a safe place for NPE’s to tell their stories without fear of being sensationalized.
NPE Alicia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/19
As a newly discovered NPE, I was so excited to see this new podcast. I really enjoyed hearing the first two stories and can relate to all the issues at stake. Trying to balance my need to know with my mom’s desire to keep it a secret, discovering new siblings of differing openness to me and in...Read full review »
