Coming Home to Yourself with Jessica Nomi Spain
from Unpolished Wisdom · host Katrina Gisbert-Tay
Jessica Nomi Spain, board certified nutritionist, health coach, and mother of four, spent decades living without knowing her origins after being adopted at age four following her Korean mother's death. She opens up about the narratives she created to survive—that she was chosen, that everything was fine—and how a DNA test changed everything when she discovered the family who had never stopped searching for her. This conversation explores how our bodies hold our stories, why finding your roots doesn't fix you but frees you, and the moment she realized she'd been rejecting herself all along. From feeling like she had to earn her way into every space to finally settling into belonging.
