Lost and Found - The Journey Back to You

In this episode of The Funny Kind, I sit down with Carme Pitre, President and CEO of Sojourner Family Peace Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a powerful and honest conversation about what it really means to feel lost—and how we begin finding our way back.
We talk about how hiding parts of ourselves can be an act of protection… how trauma, pain, and the pressure to perform or fit in can slowly pull us away from who we truly are. What once helped us survive doesn’t always serve us forever—and learning to recognize that shift can feel both brave and unsettling.
We get real about the signs you’ve lost yourself, what that actually feels like in your day-to-day life, and the quiet moments where you realize something isn’t aligned anymore. And then—what it looks like to begin peeling back the layers and reconnecting with the parts of you that were never meant to stay hidden.
We also talk about faith, healing, and the tension of asking, “Where were you?”—in the moments we felt abandoned by God or by the people who should have protected us. What does it look like to work through that? To begin healing? To even consider forgiveness?
This is a conversation about survival, self-protection, and ultimately, returning home to your higher powers and yourself—with more truth, more compassion, and more freedom than you’ve felt in a long time.
