Finding Mary Smith
<p>At 52 years old, Al Isaacs found out he was adopted after a casual call with his mother’s oncologist revealed a secret his entire family had kept from him.</p><p>What followed was not just a search for answers. It was a journey through grief, identity, DNA testing, old adoption papers, family secrets, and one nearly impossible name: Mary Smith.</p><p>In this episode of Misfits Among Us, Al shares how he discovered the truth about his adoption, found a sister who had been searching for him for 20 years, uncovered the story of his birth mother’s music career, and eventually reunited with the woman he never knew he came from.</p><p>This is a story about family, timing, forgiveness, and what happens when the life you thought you knew turns out to be incomplete — not wrong, just incomplete.</p><p>Because the misfits aren’t rare.

014: The Voices that became Puppets
<p>Roxie Anderson’s story is one of the most unusual, emotional, funny, and deeply human conversations we’ve had on Misfits Among Us.</p><p>Raised in a loving Mormon family, Roxie spent much of her life wrestling with faith, shame, depression, body image, identity, and the belief that she was never quite good enough. Over time, those feelings became harder to hold. After years of suppressing her creativity, sexuality, spirituality, and sense of self, Roxie experienced a profound mental health break that led to psychosis, hospitalization, and a long road back to herself.</p><p>But this is not only a story about breaking.</p><p>It is a story about survival, self-love, art, humor, and the strange, beautiful way Roxie learned to give voice to the parts of herself she once tried to silence.</p><p>Today, Roxie uses puppets, music, performance, and storytelling to talk openly about mental health, bipolar disorder, psychosis, suicidal ideation, religious trauma, healing, sexuality, shame, and the complicated work of becoming whole.</p><p>In this episode, Joey and Roxie talk about growing up Mormon, questioning faith, hearing voices, following signs, hospitalization, the woman who helped save her life, and how puppets became a powerful tool for processing trauma and reconnecting with herself.</p><p>This conversation is heavy, funny, uncomfortable, brave, and completely Roxie.</p><p>Because sometimes the voices do not disappear.</p><p>Sometimes they become puppets.</p><p>Content note: This episode includes discussion of psychosis, hospitalization, suicidal ideation, religious trauma, sexuality, and mental health. Please take care while watching.</p><p>If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a trusted person or local crisis resource. In the U.S. and Canada, you can call or text 988 for immediate mental health support.</p><p></p><p><b>Roxie Anderson:</b><br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://roxieanderson.com/" target="_blank">https://roxieanderson.com/</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/roxieandthefelts" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@roxieandthefelts" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@roxieandthefelts" target="_blank">YouTube</a><br /><br /><b>ABOUT MISFITS AMONG US:</b></p><p>Misfits Among Us is a conversation-driven podcast exploring how people develop their beliefs, identities, and worldviews through life experiences.
