At just nine years old, he endured unimaginable trauma, and throughout his life, he has faced many trials that tested his strength and resilience. His journey through mental health and healing is deeply personal, shaped by years of struggle, survival, and self-discovery. For the first time ever, he is sharing his full story—one of pain, perseverance, and the search for meaning in the aftermath of tragedy.</p><p><br></p><p>Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions about death and mental health challenges.</p><p><br></p><p>✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬</p><p><br></p><p>► PZ DEALS: Never Pay Full Price Again</p><p><br></p><p>An epic app that tracks deals for you.</p><p><br></p><p>Download here → https://app.pz.deals/install/iftn</p><p><br></p><p>► Twillory: Suits that are COMFY</p><p><br></p><p>Use promo code: INSPIRE for $18 OFF</p><p><br></p><p>→ https://Twillory.com/</p><p><br></p><p>► BitBean: Smart Custom Software</p><p><br></p><p>Looking to scale your business? </p><p><br></p><p>Contact Bitbean today for a FREE CONSULTATION</p><p><br></p><p>→ https://bitbean.link/MeEBlY</p><p><br></p><p>► Mosaica Press: Becoming Godly</p><p><br></p><p>A book integrating Torah & psychology.
