Dear Everyone with Shaz Khan

E2: Naman Jawaid - Dear Everyone, Learn To Forgive.


Listen Later

In this episode, Naman tells us his fascinating story which starts with an upbringing filled with emotional abuse, physical abuse and financial abuse. Having regularly seen his mother be a victim to such, he tells of the effects and impact this had on him as he navigated through his teens and early 20s. He also talks in great depth about a breakup which left him in severe depression and suicidal. 
It's this period of severe depression which resulted in a gambling habit, which although relatable to many, spiralled so far out of control to the point where he was handed a prison sentence as a resault of fraud. His story in prison is harrowing, and Naman talks about the horrors he witnessed, the time he was stabbed, the people he met, and his introduction to a drug known as spice (which is actually a pretty funny story). 
Today, Naman has his own podcast @realitycheckpodcastshow, he is also in the process of writing his own comedy show @shenaniganstvcomedy. On top it all, his story is due to be ghostwritten. The important message take from his life today however is his recovery - and how he went from a depressed, suicidal addict in prison to cherishing waking up each day.
A key part of this story, and Naman's message to the world, is the idea of forgiveness. Although a key part is learning to forgive yourself, learning to forgive others is vital not only for your path for recovery but also for helping you to live a better, more fulfilled life. A brilliant episode with a guest whose problems are incredibly relatable in this world, and with that Naman can only hope his stories, his message and his recovery can only go on to inspire many.
