Episode 262: Feeling like a "black sheep" in your circle of friends and/or with your family can feel incredibly painful. Maybe you dress differently than your family members; maybe you talk or sound differently; maybe you don't think as conservatively as your family; maybe your life choices have simply gone against the grain from others around you. Whatever your situation may be, it can be very painful to feel like an outcast from those around you. In this episode, Madelyn offers us a fresh perspective on feeling like a "black sheep."
