Show Notes

Family Secrets. We all have them. And while family secrets can seem terrifying or traumatic, these discoveries also have the power to liberate, heal, and transform us. 

On today’s show, we have Yvonne Liu to talk about her life as an adoptee and childhood trauma survivor.  She is a freelance writer, who lives in Los Angeles, whose her Huffpost adoption essay was viewed over 1.5 million times in one week.  She has written multiple articles and essays, and is currently working on her memoir.  Her work has appeared in the NY Times, Newsweek, salon, and NBC News.  She had kept her family’s secret for over 60 years, and is now writing about it, telling her truth and her story.
