1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: High Family Secrets. Family, It's hard to believe that yet

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: another season has gone by. We spend half a year

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: working on these episodes and then poof, just like that,

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: a season with its extraordinary stories flies by. I hope

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: you've loved listening to them as much as we've loved

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: creating them. This past season, we've unpacked stories about ancestral trauma,

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: recovered memory, a mystery father who may well be one

00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: of the most famous musicians of our time, a deep

9
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: and loving marriage between a straight woman and a gay man,

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: an escape from a violent marriage complete with a brand

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: new identity, being forced into homeschool by a mother who

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: doesn't want to let go, and more. It's my honor

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: to hold these stories and to continue to explore family

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: secrets in all their forms, and the stories keep coming.

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: Our next season, season fourteen, will drop on Thursday, May seventh,

16
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: And for this, I have you to thank our Family

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Secrets family for sticking with us for all these years,

18
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: making this podcast the longest running series on Iheart's network

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: with over forty million downloads and counting. On a personal note,

20
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm grateful to be able to have transformed my own

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: Family Secrets into an art form that connects with so

22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: many others. Connection, growth, kindness, compassion, love. I'll leave you

23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: with what happens when we bring the best of ourselves forward.

24
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Stay well, stay safe, stay sane, stay in touch, and

25
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: see you in May.
