| 6/23/26 |  What Horror Fans Understand About Trauma and Healing | Send us Fan Mail Can horror movies actually help us heal? In this special crossover episode with Horror Heals, Corey sits down for a conversation that might surprise Family Twist listeners. While one podcast explores DNA surprises, adoption, and identity, and the other celebrates horror, both are ultimately about the same thing: how people make sense of difficult experiences and find connection through storytelling. Whether you've never watched a horror movie in your life or you're a lifelong... | 28m 26s | ||||||
| 6/16/26 | What Happens When You Finally Look Like Someone? | Send us Fan Mail Julie Ann Brumley expected a DNA test to answer a few questions. She didn't expect to find a sister, a 100% Italian biological father, or an entire family where she could finally see herself reflected in someone else's face. In part one of our conversation, Julie and Kendall compare reunion stories and talk about the moments that don't always make it into the movies: sitting through family stories you weren't there for, wondering what you missed, and discovering that joy and ... | 23m 57s | ||||||

| 3/3/26 | Don’t Ever Ask About Your Father Again | Send us Fan Mail What if your father’s childhood was a handful of strange fragments, a “castle,” a room with 25 beds, hunger, silence, and a single forbidden question. Filmmaker David Quint grew up sensing his dad was different, but nobody explained why. His father, Urban, had been raised in a 700-year-old Swiss castle that served as an orphanage, then at age 12 received a letter that changed everything: “You’re not an orphan. I’m your mother. You’re coming to America.” He arrived in Philadel... | 37m 58s | ||||||
| 2/24/26 | The Lie That Raised Me Part Three | Send us Fan Mail Reunion is not always soft. In Part Three of this powerful late discovery adoptee story, Alicia Sharon Denise Williams steps into the aftermath of truth. After learning she was adopted, after uncovering sealed Michigan adoption records, after discovering both biological parents had passed away, she begins reaching out to siblings. The first response is rejection. A phone call to a biological half brother’s mother ends with harsh words and a door firmly shut. But that is not t... | 27m 45s | ||||||
| 2/24/26 | The Lie That Raised Me Part Two | Send us Fan Mail She logged back in. After months of denial, after accusing AncestryDNA of switching samples, after trying to shove the results back into the box, Alicia Sharon Denise Williams opened her DNA account again. The first cousin matches were still there. This time, she did not look away. In Part Two of this three-part late discovery adoptee story, Alicia takes us into the moment curiosity turns into confirmation. What starts as online research becomes a drive to Detroit. What feels... | 24m 01s | ||||||
| 2/24/26 | The Lie That Raised Me Part One | Send us Fan Mail She thought she knew her story. In 2021, a casual AncestryDNA test reopened questions Alicia had quietly carried her entire life. Why did she never see her original birth certificate? Why was her birthday often forgotten? Why did her brother feel like he belonged in a different way? Then a first cousin match appeared. And everything started to unravel. In Part One of this three-part series, Alicia Sharon Denise Williams shares the early clues that something was off long befor... | 31m 34s | ||||||
| 2/17/26 | From International Adoption to Reclaiming Citizenship | Send us Fan Mail What happens when your story begins in one country, is rewritten in another, and then calls you back decades later? In this powerful episode of Family Twist, Corey and Kendall sit down with Sandi Morgan Caesar to explore a life shaped by early loss, international adoption, racial identity, and an unrelenting search for truth. Sandi was born in Panama to a 14-year-old mother and spent the first year of her life with her birth family before being placed with a Black U.S. Air ... | 37m 52s | ||||||
| 2/10/26 | “Our Father” Lit the Fuse | Send us Fan Mail A Netflix documentary about fertility fraud lit the fuse. After watching Our Father, a question would not let go: how do you actually know donor conception was handled ethically, and how do you know the story you were told is true? So a DNA test gets ordered. While waiting for the results, the question gets asked at home. The response is silence first, then the truth. An anonymous donor. A social father who knew. Years of secrecy. And the realization that many people had this... | 40m 43s | ||||||
| 2/3/26 | I Lived a Lie and Called It Family | Send us Fan Mail What happens when the truth about your origins arrives decades late and everyone else already knew? In this episode of Family Twist, Kendall talks with Keith Sciarillo, a late-discovery adoptee who learned later in life that neither of the parents who raised him were biologically related to him. Even harder, siblings and family members knew the truth long before Keith did. Keith shares what it is like to grow up inside a family secret, how silence reshaped his childhood, and ... | 40m 49s | ||||||

In this episode of Family Twist, Corey and Kendall sit down with Dr. Nicole Price, a DNAngels Board Advisor whose discovery that her father wasn’t her biological parent came not from a sudden match, but from something she didn’t notice for nearly a decade.
