## Resource

What happens in the body when truth is buried? In this deeply personal episode of Honest Healing , Katie Delimon shares her story of discovering, at age 39, that the man who raised her is not her biological father — and the lineage of unspoken trauma that surrounded it. This conversation explores a family system shaped by silence, including the murder of Katie’s aunt, the secret adoption of her brother, and being named after the aunt who was never spoken about. Together, these untold stories reveal how secrets don’t disappear — they live on in the body, shaping our nervous system, relationships, health, and sense of identity. Originally recorded as a guest episode on That Voice Podcast , hosted by Sally Prosser — voice coach and author of Voiceprint — this episode is now shared here as part of the Honest Healing journey. In this episode, you’ll learn: How family secrets impact us psychologically, emotionally, and physically Why silence can show up as anxiety, over-functioning, people-pleasing, or chronic stress What it takes to break cycles of secrecy without blowing up your life Gentle, grounded first steps to begin healing if you’re holding a secret of your own This episode is for anyone who grew up sensing something was “off,” anyone carrying stories that were never theirs to hold, and anyone ready to choose truth, safety, and healing — at their own pace. Sally Prosser is a voice coach and author of Voiceprint , helping people find and express their true voice with clarity and confidence. 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sallyprosservoice/ Connect with Katie Delimon 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/katiedelimon 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@katiedelimon 📘 Facebook: https://facebook.com/katiedelimon ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@katiedelimon3323 📘 Get…
