Margo Reilly: When You Shake The Family Tree

Eve talks with Margo about the experience of writing her second book When You Shake The Family Tree. Topics Discussed: DNA-Discovery, Expectations, Sobriety, Therapy. (Also discussed: babies, and the Los Angeles fires.) After 25 years in public education, Margo has decided to use her masters degree and teaching experience to become a personal empowerment mentor. Her first memoir published in 2022,  entitled “When the Apple Fall Far from the Tree,” outlines a lifetime of adversity and the tools she used to make it to the other side. From growing up chaotic in a house of violence, to cancer recovery, weight loss surgery, a newly sober lifestyle, and a spiritual awakening- Margo feels compelled to share the “gifts” she has discovered along her path of personal growth. She is the creator of the blog site, justbeingjill.com where you can learn more about the birth of her pen name, Margo Reilly. Margo has recently completed a life coach course and soon hopes to be assisting others with their own transformational journeys.  Her sequel memoir, When You Shake the Family Tree, launched in December 2024. In her latest work, she details her journey of self-acceptance and healing after learning she was not exactly who she thought she was after taking an Ancestry DNA test. She is eager to share how she navigated her identity crisis in hopes of inspiring others to find their way forward. Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Read Eve's Substack (ie.
