Have you been told you have "something wrong with you" but no one could tell you what or what to do about it? My guest this week didn't get the name Tourette's attached to what was happening to him until he was already into his late 30s and  a husband and father. Hear how not being defined by it has helped him see his self worth and his worth to the world around him.
