The very first episode of DNA Clarity and Support was an interview with Maggie Chenard. In the discussion, Maggie shared with host Brianne the journey she has taken after a discovery two years ago that the father she has always known was not her biological father. Maggie is known as the Mindful NPE on Instagram and Twitter, and she hosts a secret Facebook group of same name. Learn from Maggie’s experience how grief changes with time, the impact of an "NPE" (not parent expected) discovery on existing relationships, and what it takes to help those around you know how to offer the right kind of support.

Maggie Chenard is on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook as the Mindful NPE. Check out her social media posts and the other resources we discuss including:
