We all inherit stories. Some are these massive collective narratives about how the world works and

who gets to matter. But then there are the ones that are much more intimate, the ones that live

in our lineage, their stories told around kitchen tables, shared at family gatherings,

repeated so often, they just feel true. This person was the hero, and that person

was the problem. But as we grow, we begin to understand life is rarely quite that simple.

So we start asking different questions, not necessarily to unravel everything, but to understand

it more honestly. That's what makes the new podcast

family lore so compelling. It's such a beautiful, sacred look at the stories families carry.

It approaches our history with so much curiosity and nuance. It's not about stirring up chaos. It's

about finally seeing what's true, what's been

shaped by time, and what has been living in the silence. I invite you to take a moment,

settle in, and enjoy this preview of family lore. And when you're ready, search for family

lore available now wherever you get your podcasts.

So here is what I want to understand.

Yes.

What made you so interested in all this ancestral lines and ancestral influences?

So I've been interested in it for so long that I can't remember when it started.

But all I can tell you, like in childhood?

Childhood.

Did you do the DNA test?

I've not done that.

I wasn't all that interested in the statistical breakdown of my DNA.
