Every family has secrets, but some secrets can change everything we thought we knew about ourselves. At age 54, writer Dani Shapiro discovered that the father who raised her wasn't her biological father. For over two decades, Dani has written memoirs mining her life for truths and understanding of what makes us who we are, including how this shocking revelation reshaped her own identity. This episode’s practice is about understanding that the past doesn’t define who you are today - you do.
