When You Feel Like You Don't Fit In with...

Debra Fileta, M.A., LPC and Creator of TrueLoveDates.com
About this episode

What do you do when you feel like you don’t fit in?

What do you do when you don’t even feel like you belong in your own family?

How can you take that feeling that you don’t belong, and turn it into something good… Something healthy… Something purposeful and meaningful?

This is exactly the subject we dive into today in this on-air counseling session with Brian Tome. He felt out of place in his own life— and for good reason.

We talk about some of his hurts from the past, and how they impacted & informed his calling in the present.

Let me just tell you, this man is a character… And it was a joy to chat with him and process some of these things out loud.

Let me know what you think of this conversation!!
