In this profoundly moving episode of Kinwomen ALOUD, Kelley and Rose join Penny to reflect on how different life seasons shape who we are. Together, they explore themes of memory, belonging, and the power of timing in life’s unfolding journey.
Penny then shares her very personal story from formative years in New Zealand to bittersweet endings and emotional reunions. It is a story of rediscovery, identity, and reunion with her birth father—a journey marked by secrets, longing, and ultimately, a love that spanned continents and decades.
This episode offers a heartfelt reminder that healing is possible, that sweet seasons may come after hardship, and that stories long left unsaid can still find their way home.
