"i feel great" was said in family scripture study every morning before starting the day. Brett says this is the first time he learned to lie, because very rarely did he actually feel "great". Our dad is finally on the podcast this week to share the beginning of his story. Growing up, our dad was the star athlete, had a rich family life, the popular kid everywhere he went, the list goes on and on. His life seemed perfect, but inside there was so much inner turmoil that came with never being allowed to share his feelings. Alcohol, drugs and self-harm were the only way he found to cope. Listen to see where his story begins. TW: addiction, self-harm, eating disorders Shout out to our dad for starting the feeling company and teaching us how to share our feelings.
