Episode One: The Exorcism

Carved in My Palm is a weekly podcast series that is full of curiosities, happenstance, and, I’m convinced, even a little magic, and it is entirely non-fiction. The story follows me down the proverbial rabbit hole, into a small world chock full of coincidences and close encounters, as I seek out my birth family. Flumes Literary Journal said, we &quot;loved the universality of the narrator’s search for home and identity.&quot; Carved in My Palm is an honest exploration of one person's search for self and connection. A story of vulnerability and courage and what can be gained when you risk putting yourself out there.
