In this first episode of Documented Healing, I speak from the space between names and bloodlines.
I descend from Vermont’s first governor, Thomas Chittenden, through my mother’s mother. And from Irish immigrants—through my father’s father—including a 15-year-old girl whose story was shaped by secrecy, survival, and a man who changed his name to start again.
This episode is about legacy, perception, and reclaiming the truths that weren’t written down.
Listen in. Read along. And welcome.
