Betsy Wurzel’s guest is Lezlee Liljenberg, an award-winning businesswoman, entrepreneur, writer, and author of If You Only Knew: Navigating DNA Surprises and the NPE (Not Parent Expected) World. Lezlee is a dedicated advocate for individuals navigating the complexities of the NPE experience.
In this insightful and thought-provoking interview, Lezlee shares with Betsy how her book combines her journey, the stories of others, and inspiring poetry to encourage readers to uncover surprising truths about their biological parents. Her memoir details her discovery of her biological father, the judgment she faced for pursuing the truth, and the challenges of navigating relationships with family members and her community.
Betsy and Lezlee discuss the societal stigma often attached to those seeking answers about their lineage and the unfairness of judging someone for circumstances of their birth—situations they had no control over. They also explore how DNA testing can reveal surprises, children’s natural curiosity about their families, the reasons behind family secrets, and the unjust stigmas women face for pregnancies outside traditional norms.
The conversation broadens to cover the importance of knowing family medical histories, particularly for those discovering new familial connections, as well as the unique challenges faced by children of LGBTQ+ families, sperm donors, egg donors, and surrogate mothers in understanding their biological roots.
Lezlee emphasizes the central message of her book: the importance of kindness and understanding toward others. She candidly discusses how she was gaslighted and questioned in her pursuit of the truth, and how these experiences shaped her advocacy.
Betsy recommends visiting Lezlee Liljenberg’s website to order her book, learn more about her advocacy work, and connect with her. Lezlee’s book will also be available as an audiobook in February 2025. This is a powerful and inspiring story you won’t want to miss!
