Life doesn’t always go as planned, and sometimes, the hardest moments end up teaching you the most.

In this episode, my dad and I talk about what it really means to fail, start over, and find peace when life throws you curveballs. From losing loved ones and dealing with financial setbacks to learning how to pivot and keep going, he opens up about lessons that shaped his life and changed the way I see mine.

It’s honest, emotional, and a reminder that failure isn’t the end. It’s just part of growing up.
