DNA Tests and Family Secrets Exposed with Lindsay Blount

#26: Today’s guest, Lindsay Blount, recently had her identity completely uprooted after she took a 23&Me DNA test during the pandemic and found out some shocking news. Lindsay learned she was donor conceived and that she could have up to 100 siblings throughout the United States…
In the last year, Lindsay has taken a deep dive into identity and its meaning down to the root. She challenges everyone to consider identity as something that is not a fixed part of your being, rather it is something you can learn and relearn.
Today, Lindsay is a doctoral student, a photographer, and she is also writing her first book on identity shake ups. She hopes her story will inspire everyone to rip out the roots of their own identity and start creating a more true and authentic one.
In this episode we talk about:
- 23&Me and DNA tests
- Donor conception / donor conceived children
- How your identity is not fixed
- Not knowing who your biological parents are
- Nature vs. nurture
- Family trees and ancestry

Donor conceived was a miracle of that time and now too. Wow. Imagine how these men who were donating then are when they meet their children. How do the donors feel now.

This man better figure out how to get in front of this because DNA research is on top of everyone's mind. He will not be able to hide from this story, and at least the siblings who know at the time of this telling have good intent.
