In this episode, we welcome Julie McGue, an accomplished author, memoirist, essayist, and columnist who delves into the profound themes of identity, family, and belonging. Julie's journey of self-discovery began at the age of 48, when a breast biopsy revealed gaps in her knowledge about her birth circumstances and medical history, due to a closed adoption. This revelation set her on a five-year quest to uncover her personal story, which she chronicles in her award-winning memoir, Twice a Daughter: A Search for Family, Identity, and Belonging.
