Summary:
Being the Black Sheep is a bold, unapologetic podcast hosted by Janine Stella—self-proclaimed misfit and truth-teller—created for those who’ve always felt like outsiders. It’s a space for fellow black sheep to share the wild, awkward, and unfiltered stories that come from living life on your own terms. With humor, heart, and a little swagger, Janine dives into family drama, questionable choices, and what it really means to embrace your “difficult” personality.

Let’s ruffle some feathers.
Being the Black Sheep
EP 1: What the FLOCK!... Origins of the Black Sheep
Every group has one—the person who refuses to blend in and makes the rest wonder what rulebook they’re following. You know the type.
In this very first episode of Being the Black Sheep, I’m ripping the wool off the history of this infamous label. I’ll take you from ancient flocks to Puritan judgment, through folklore where black sheep were seen as magical, to modern psychology that explains why we’re the ones carrying all the “unspoken stuff.”
I’m not here to sugarcoat it. I’m here to flip the script on what it means to be the outsider and show you why being different isn’t a flaw—it’s a damn superpower.
Got your own black sheep story? I want to hear it!
