Episode Description

Sitting down with my friend Dr. David Weill, I was struck by the courage it takes to return to your past and ask a hard, lifelong question: Who am I really?


In this episode, we talk about his new memoir, Tell Me I Belong, and the journey that shaped it—growing up in the Deep South as the son of a father with Jewish heritage and a Southern Baptist mother, in a home where faith was rarely discussed. That silence left him searching for identity, meaning, and a sense of belonging that wouldn’t come easily.


This is a conversation about family, faith, and the quiet ways we inherit confusion, and how we begin to untangle it. If you’ve ever wrestled with where you fit, or who you were meant to become, this episode will stay with you.
