In this episode of the Anna Jinja Show, we delve into the emotional depths of identity, loss, and discovery through the lens of the song "Skylight" by Pinegrove. This week, we are joined by Cat Powell-Hoffmann, a published fine artist, writer, and Moth Mainstage storyteller, who shares her powerful story of learning about her parents' death via email—a revelation that profoundly shaped her identity as an adoptee.

Cat’s narrative explores not just the pain of loss, but also the complexities of navigating her roots and understanding her place in the world as someone who was adopted. As we discuss the poignant lyrics of "Skylight," we reflect on how they resonate with her journey, emphasizing themes of self-discovery and the emotional impact of unexpected revelations.
