In this conversation, Wendy Jackman joins Lee to explore what it means to stay visible in a culture that often demands silence and invisibility—especially for women. Wendy shares her journey through adoption, navigating a narcissistic parent, and learning to recognize the patterns of dissociation that shaped her life. Together, they unpack the generational myths of independence, the economic forces that make people disappear, and the importance of art, writing, and storytelling in reclaiming presence and truth.Key Topics CoveredAdoption, gratitude myths, and generational silenceParenting shifts: from “don’t cuddle” to interconnectednessEconomic precarity and invisibility in societyDissociation as survival and the struggle to return to presenceCreativity as healing and resistanceThe impact of streaming on artists and cultural valueFamily truths, loss, and reclaiming connection through storyWendy offers a powerful reminder that owning our stories is how we resist invisibility.
