Series 6: Not Quite Alice: The Wonderland of Being Given Away
E118: The Dormouse’s Silence: The Secrets They Fed You
Some truths arrive wrapped in whispers—or don’t arrive at all.
In this episode of Not Quite Alice: The Wonderland of Being Given Away, we dive into the quiet spaces filled with unspoken stories, half-truths, and the secrets that shaped your understanding of yourself and your past.
We explore:
- The weight of silence and what it means to grow up without clear answers
- How secrecy around your origins can create confusion, doubt, and isolation
- The delicate balance between protecting and withholding—and who decides
- The long-term ripple effects of stories left untold or rewritten
Like the Dormouse at the tea party, these silences can feel small but hold immense power—power over your identity, your trust, and your path forward.
This episode invites you to face those quiet corners, unpack what’s been fed to you, and start reclaiming your own truth.
*********************************************************
🗝️✨ I was never supposed to tell this story. But I am.For years, I lived inside someone else’s version of my life — wrapped in secrets, silences, and bedtime stories that left too much out.
Now I’m writing the truth. Unlocked is my autobiography about adoption, anxiety, family fractures, and the journey of reclaiming my voice.
I’m raising funds to professionally edit, design, print, and share this book with people who need to know they’re not alone.
If you’ve ever been called too sensitive, too dramatic, too much — this book is for you.And if you believe in the power of truth, I’d be so grateful if you could help me bring it into the world.
