In part two of my conversation with Jordan, we step into the heart of his story. We talk about how deeply mental health struggles shaped him and the weight of those dark moments. I ask him the hard question — if he ever had a plan — and his honesty is both heartbreaking and brave. This conversation is raw and heavy, but Jordan’s strength and vulnerability shine through. His journey is a beautiful reminder that even in the darkest places, light can still find its way in.

In this episode, I sit down with Jordan for the first time since high school—and it gets real. His willingness to be vulnerable and open is exactly why I’m doing this.

Jordan has faced some incredibly heavy moments, but he fought through the battle within himself and found strength in creativity. In this first part, we dive into who he is, how we know each other, and what led him to start his healing journey in the first place.

This conversation inspired me to launch my small business—because creating isn’t just about products or services; it’s about connection, expression, and sharing stories. Even painting pictures with words for this podcast is creating art.

Thank you, Jordan, for the reminder—and for trusting me with your story.

It’s a two-parter due to some editing issues—but I promise, it’ll be worth the wait.

In part two, Chanel and I finally talk about her 911 call the morning she found that her 12 year old son Adrian passed and everything that came with it. But don’t worry—it’s not all heavy. We also get into some wild facts, like the fact that koalas growl (yes, really), stingrays team up with Dr. Fish, and how life is basically a never-ending mix of loss and gains. It’s deep, it’s weird, and it’s exactly the kind of conversation you didn’t know you needed! 

 Just a quick note—due to some editing software issues, a few parts of this conversation had to be cut. I truly believe those moments are worth hearing, but rather than delay the episode any further, I decided to move forward with this version. If you’d like to experience the full, unedited conversation, you can find it on YouTube whenever you’re ready!

 In this deeply personal episode, I share a powerful dream where I stood face-to-face with my dad after so many years.

Since his passing, I’ve found myself questioning whether I deserve to feel moments of pure, genuine happiness. Join me as I navigate the complexities of grief, self-discovery, and finding light in the shadows.

Through this letter, I grapple with the generational trauma and complex emotions that have shaped our family, hoping to find some sense of peace and understanding.
