In this raw and powerful episode, we sit down with Jonathon — a man whose story starts with pain, chaos, and early abandonment, but doesn’t end there. Dropping out of school in the 8th grade, Jonathon was thrown into a world that showed no mercy. With little direction and even fewer options, he quickly found himself swallowed by the streets, addiction, and eventually two prison sentences.As his heroin addiction took hold, Jonathon was trying to survive not only for himself — but for his four children. Homeless, hopeless, and haunted by his past, he faced every parent’s worst nightmare: trying to be a father while losing the battle to drugs. But even at his lowest, Jonathon never fully gave up.Today, Jonathon is rewriting the narrative. With sobriety under his belt and a fierce drive to be present, he’s finding peace and purpose in a life he once thought was lost forever. This episode is more than a redemption story — it’s a gut-check reminder of how far a person can fall… and still rise.Tune in for an unfiltered conversation about the prison system, addiction, family, and what it really takes to rebuild from rock bottom.
