About this episode
Teens who struggle with fitting in, rejection or betrayal often build tough walls to protect themselves — but what's really hiding behind those defenses? On today’s episode, Mark sits down with two young women at Heartlight who share how feeling misunderstood and losing trust in others shaped their choices and attitudes. Meredith, who has been on the show before, shares about navigating big life traumas, feeling like an outsider and her struggle for acceptance, which led her down a tough path. Tune in to hear these stories!
