Do you feel like you’ve always been the outlier in your family? Probably not in the way that makes you want to celebrate either. While the other members seem to mesh so well, you see things a little differently. Your world is a very different place from theirs.

Let’s face it. You don’t have much in common with your family members. You have always been the individual, the renegade, the odd one out that just doesn’t seem to fit the bill.

Being the black sheep can be a difficult position to be in, and there’s no way out. At times it seems easier just to follow suit and conform, but pretending you’re someone you’re is deeply unfulfilling, and it just doesn’t sit right with you.

But don’t stress, because being the black sheep is not a bad position to be in.

It’s a catalyst for growth and transformation because you’re clearing out your path in life rather than following in others’ footsteps.

You’re the one who’s going to break the chain of hidden family dysfunction and trauma that has never been addressed. All you need is some guidance to turn this curse into a blessing, and that’s what we’re going to look at here.
