Feeling Different

Do you ever have those days where you feel different than your friends or family? Maybe you feel like an outsider because you rodeo, play a different kind of music, ride dirt bikes or do something a little different. In all ways, we always feel a little different at some point in time or another, but as Dr. Seuss said, "𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙛𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙣, 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝓢𝓣𝓐𝓝𝓓 𝓞𝓤𝓣??
 
During this RodeoKids.com Podcast, our host, Camarie Widmer, shares her story of how she overcomes those feelings and how she's learned to embrace being different!
