About this listen

🎧 Missing Pieces – NPE Life

Every Secret Has a Story
Every family has secrets. Some are whispered. Others are written in our DNA.

Missing Pieces – NPE Life is where those hidden stories come to light — through honest conversations with people whose DNA results changed everything they thought they knew about family, identity, or truth. It’s also a space for those searching for answers and discovering unexpected connections — sometimes even finding family.

Hosted and produced by Don Anderson, an Emmy-winning storyteller and NPE himself, the series explores what happens after the discovery — the shock, the search, the healing, and the human connections that follow.

🧬 Real stories. Real voices.
Because sometimes, finding out who we are starts with finding what’s been missing.

    This is a very special episode. I take a moment to share a few things happening in my own life—and one hugecoincidence that stopped me cold. 🧩😳

    It was one of those moments that feels too big to be random… the kind that makes you pause and think, “Okay, what is actually going on here?”

    I don’t want to spoil it by saying more—so let’s get into the episode. 🎧➡️
