(Episode description by podcast producer, Sue Duffield) “Today's episode goes much deeper than just a story about host Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly's sister, Doris. Her heart-felt words will throttle the listener into a Netflix-like mini-series of hope, despair, miracles and over-the-top depth of secrets revealed. Mary Anne is at her finest here, but it took everything she had to disclose the family secret, all while her sister Doris transitioned into the after-life. You will find great compassion and understanding as to why Mary Anne is a soldier for the kingdom of caregiving. She searched her whole life to find the missing piece of the puzzle, only to realize that God in His infinite timing would sweep her into a week of miracles.” www.verandaministries.org

In this chilling and emotional true story, a woman recounts growing up in a small Puerto Rican town haunted by whispers of her grandmother's black magic. From eerie encounters with ghostly figures to being paralyzed under the weight of an unseen force, her childhood was marked by terrifying events she never asked for—but may have inherited. As the paranormal intensified, so did her sensitivity, opening doors she didn't know existed. Was this a curse passed down through blood, or the awakening of something she was always meant to face?

“As my own mother is aging, she's telling me … before I take this to my grave, here is something you should know. So the secrets are coming out. And as more and more secrets are revealed, I'm learning more about myself.” - Ibi Zoboi Ibi Zoboi writes to remember—her own story, her family's legacy, and the long history of migration, myth, and memory that shaped them both. For Ibi, storytelling is a form of resistance and reclamation. It's how she makes sense of the secrets that shaped her life and gives voice to those left out of the narrative. A National Book Award finalist and the bestselling author of American Street, Pride, Star Child, and (S)Kin, Ibi's work blurs the line between folklore and futurism. In this episode, Stories Left Untold: Ibi Zoboi on Secrets Lost and Found, she opens up about growing up Haitian in 1980s Brooklyn, discovering a half-sister decades later, and finding her way to writing through soap operas, Stephen King, and the voices of women who came before her. She also shares how a Vodou ceremony in Brooklyn changed her relationship to her culture, why she always sought out elders and activists, and how she's still learning to push back against the pressure to fit a mold—on the page and off.Ibi's reading challenge, Haitian Creations, celebrates stories of migration and identity from first-generation and immigrant voices—stories that, like hers, speak to the truths we inherit and the ones we uncover for ourselves.Download Ibi's reading challenge at thereadingculturepod.com/ibi-zoboiAnd this week's Beanstack Featured Librarian is once again William Shaller, the librarian at Hoffman Middle School in Houston, Texas.

most már tudta, hogy ki ő, és hogy hol van a helye a családban.En: It didn't matter what secrets shrouded the past; she now knew who she was and where her place was in the family.Hu: Aznap éjjel Edit boldogan hajtotta álomra a fejét, szívében a család szeretetével.En: That night, Edit happily laid her head to rest, her heart filled with the love of her family.

from the square, the two bid farewell, knowing that a new friendship was born from an ancient voice.It: In quel momento, Luca capì che non era tutto razionalità e scetticismo.En: In that moment, Luca

odalenn talán még balesetveszély is leselkedett rá.En: The ruins were unstable; below, there might even be an accident waiting.Hu: Ágota társaságában László is ott állt, egy másik történész, kinek célja éppen az ellenkezője volt: hírnevet szerezni a felfedezéssel.En: In Ágota's company stood László, another historian whose goal was quite the opposite: to gain fame through discovery.Hu: Ágota nem bízott benne, de tisztában volt vele, hogy egyedül talán nem boldogulna.En: Ágota didn't trust him but was aware that she might not succeed alone.Hu: Zsófia, Ágota közeli barátja és szövetségese, az árnyékban állt, csendben szemlélve a két történész rivalizálását.En: Zsófia, Ágota's close friend and ally, stood in the shadows, quietly observing the rivalry between the two historians.Hu: "Ágota, talán együtt kellene dolgoznotok," mondta bizonytalanul, próbálva meggyőzni őt a közös munka erejéről.En: "Ágota, perhaps you should work together," she said hesitantly, trying to convince her of the strength of collaboration.Hu: De Ágota habozott.En: But Ágota hesitated.Hu: A családja titka volt a tét, és nem akarta, hogy László megszerezze annak dicsőségét.En: Her family's secret was at stake, and she didn't want László to claim its glory.Hu: Ahogy egyre beljebb hatoltak a romok mélyére, számos barlangon és régi falakon haladtak át, amelyeket immár vastagon borított be a borostyán.En: As they delved deeper into the ruins, they passed through numerous caves and old walls, now thickly covered with ivy.Hu: Az egyik sarok mögött egyszer csak különös jelekre bukkantak, amelyek egy titkos ajtóra utaltak.En: Around one corner, they suddenly stumbled upon peculiar signs that hinted at a secret door.Hu: Ágota szíve megdobbant.En: Ágota's heart skipped a beat.Hu: Végül egy sötét, szűk folyosóra bukkantak.En: Finally, they found a dark, narrow corridor.Hu: A fény alig szűrődött be, de Ágota szeme megszokta a homályt.En: Light barely filtered in, but Ágota's eyes adjusted to the dimness.Hu: Itt volt a pillanat; az a titok most már tényleg kézzelfogható közelségben volt.En: The moment was here; the secret was now within tangible reach.Hu: De ekkor a föld megremegett, és az erősödő morajlás hírnöke lett annak, hogy az építmény veszélyesen ingatag.En: But then the ground shook, and the growing rumble was a herald of the dangerously unstable structure.Hu: "László, segítenünk kell egymásnak!" kiáltotta Ágota, miközben mindketten azért küzdöttek, hogy elérjenek a titok helyszínéhez.En: "László, we need to help each other!" shouted Ágota as they both fought to reach the secret's location.Hu: Az ajtó nyitva állt, de a kövek kezdtek omlani.En: The door stood open, but the stones began to collapse.Hu: Ágotának gyorsan kellett döntenie: kockáztatja saját biztonságát vagy megelégszik azzal, amit már megtudott?En: Ágota had to decide quickly: risk her own safety or settle for what she had already learned?Hu: A döntése gyors volt, sokkal gyorsabb, mint ahogy azt előre elképzelte volna.En: Her decision was swift, much faster than she had imagined.Hu: Lászlóval összefogva menekültek ki, ám amikor kijutottak, Ágota újra elővette a térképet.En: Joining forces with László, they fled, but as they emerged, Ágota took out the map again.Hu: Bár a teljes titok ma nem lett felfedve, az a kevés, amit megtanult, megváltoztatta önmagát és családja múltjáról alkotott képét.En: Although the full secret was not revealed today, the little she learned changed her understanding of herself and her family's past.Hu: Végül a napfénytől melengetett zöld ölelte át őket.En: Finally, the sunlight's warmth embraced them in green.Hu: A Buda-hegyek titkait megőrizték, de Ágota már nem bánt.En: The secrets of the Buda-hills were preserved, but Ágota no longer minded.Hu: Megtanulta, hogy néha a múltat jobb együtt felfedezni.En: She learned that sometimes it's better to explore the past together.Hu: Zsófia mellett állva, László újdonsült barátjaként úgy érezte, a romok tanítása nemcsak a múltról, hanem a jelenről is szólt.En: Standing next to Zsófia, now with László as a newfound friend, she felt that the ruins' lessons were not just about the past, but about the present as well.

Trigger Warning:  This episode contains sensitive material about abuse, incest, and generational trauma. Please listen or watch at your own pace, and practice self-care as needed.    Episode Overview:  In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, Dr. Debi Silber speaks with author and advocate Babs Walters about the lifelong impact of childhood abuse, the burden of keeping family secrets, and what it truly takes to heal. Babs courageously shares her deeply personal story, tracing the effects of trauma through her family history—and how she finally found freedom and purpose in breaking the silence.    Key Themes Covered:  The Legacy of Abuse and Secret-Keeping Babs recounts her childhood experience of incest, the secrecy that surrounded it, and the emotional and physical toll it took on her body and relationships.  Dissociation and Survival As a child, Babs survived by dissociating and escaping into books—one of the few places she found hope and happy endings.  From Silence to Advocacy Her journey from secrecy to speaking out includes therapy, education, and eventually, writing her memoir. Her mission: to make sure no other child feels as isolated as she did.  Family Secrets and Their Lasting Damage The harm isn't just in the trauma—it's in the demand for secrecy. Babs explains how family systems force silence, and how that pressure keeps generations stuck.  Generational Trauma and Its Roots A shocking story about her father's childhood reveals the hidden trauma that shaped his inability to love, empathize, or protect his children.  The Healing Journey With over 45 years of therapy, programs like est (Erhard Seminars Training), and a commitment to self-growth, Babs shows that deep healing is possible—even decades later.  Breaking the Chain Despite being criticized by her children for her own “extreme” parenting, Babs is proud to have disrupted the abusive legacy passed down through generations.    Her Memoir and Mission:  Babs made a vow as a child to someday write a book that would let another little girl know she wasn't alone. That book is finally here—along with her advocacy work, speaking, and involvement with Brave Voices, a Library of Congress archive preserving survivor stories.  Notable Quotes:  “I made a promise to myself that one day I'd write a book so some other little girl wouldn't feel all alone.” “The pain was bad—but my self-talk may have been worse.” “Healing isn't a destination, it's a journey. And it's never too late to begin.”  Resources & Where to Find Babs:  Website: https://babswalters.com   Instagram: @babswalters    Resources & Links  Learn more about the PBT Institute   What Stage Are You In? Find out here   Want to bring the 5 Stages of Healing into your organization? Contact us about corporate programs   Explore our flagship program Reclaim   Become a Certified PBT® Coach/Practitioner    Final Thoughts from Dr. Debi:  Healing from trauma takes courage, community, and compassion. Babs is living proof that no matter your age or how long it's been, healing is possible—and your story has power. If you're keeping a family secret, know this: you're not alone, and you don't have to carry it forever.  Be sure to share this episode with someone who may need to hear it. And as always, take what serves you, leave what doesn't, and treat yourself with gentleness as you heal.

Alice Munro, a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, was perhaps the most acclaimed short-story writer of our time. After her death, last year, her youngest daughter, Andrea Skinner, revealed that Munro's partner, Gerald Fremlin, had sexually abused her starting when she was nine years old. The abuse was known in the family, but, even after Fremlin was convicted, Munro stood by him, at the expense of her relationship with her daughter. In this episode, the New Yorker staff writer Rachel Aviv joins the magazine's editor, David Remnick, to talk about how and why a writer known for such astonishing powers of empathy could betray her own child, and how Munro touched on this family trauma in fiction. “Her writing makes you think about art at what expense,” Aviv tells Remnick. “That's probably a question that is relevant for many artists, but Alice Munro makes it visible on the page. It felt so literal—like trading your daughter for art.”Follow The New Yorker Radio Hour wherever you get your podcasts. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
