About this episode

Megan Hillyer revisits her first episode with Brittany MacLeod, exploring identity and family history.

Ep 76: This summer I'm bringing back some of my favorite guest episodes from Know Your Ancestors — conversations where we really dug into identity and what it means to understand yourself better through your lineage. And I couldn't think of a better place to start than episode one. Brittany MacLeod was our very first guest, and this episode is one of my favorites simply because of how much we were able to uncover. She came in knowing almost nothing about her family history — and by the end of the episode, she had a lot more to sit with. If you've ever wondered whether there's a reason you are the way you are, this episode is for you. You can find Brittany on Instagram at @brittanymacleod_ and her agency at @macleodmedia_ If you enjoy the show, I'd love it if you took a minute to leave a rating and review — it helps so much.
