Living abroad and being an ex-pat aren't always pleasant experiences. Being an OFW has always been two-fold. It's difficult to live there without family.

When you're having a good life and then life hits you like a wall, you'll think twice. This was what happened to JR. Losing a loved one, especially your father is a very tragic thing, especially when you're doing all you can to help alleviate your family's financial burdens.

In today’s episode, we'll hear from JR (a fitness & development coach for children during the day, and a content creator/strategist at night) as he shares his story about how time & your loved ones are so important. Learn how he was able to overcome the struggles of losing his father, as well as how he dealt with his limiting beliefs.

At the end of his interview, you can also get some tips on how to achieve happiness through the Art of Abundance.
