Ep. 5 - Flocked Up Families: When the Black Sheep Burns the Pasture!
Family isn’t always warm hugs and Sunday dinners. Sometimes it’s blame, favoritism, or that aunt with boxed wine breath telling you you’ll “never measure up.” In this raw episode of Being the Black Sheep, Janine Stella teams up with trauma specialist Eric Bricker, LMHC to rip the bandage off family-of-origin trauma.
From Christmas gift inequality to being iced out at the dinner table, Janine and Eric expose how families brand their misfits, why rejection cuts the deepest at home, and what it really takes to survive when the herd turns on you.
This isn’t therapy—it’s rebellion. If you’ve ever felt like the scapegoat, the outcast, or the one who never belonged, this episode is proof: you’re not broken—you’re just not built for their flock.
