At 19 years old, I didn't want to be alive anymore. Not because life was impossible — but because I had built an identity out of being broken. And nobody talks about this. We talk about depression. We talk about anxiety. We talk about the circumstances that bring us to our knees. But nobody talks about what happens when your suffering becomes your personality — and how that single thing can silently destroy your shot at genuine happiness. In this episode, I'm sharing the question that cracked everything open for me, the science behind why your brain is keeping you stuck, and the exact shift that took me from rock bottom to building a life rooted in real, unconditional happiness. This one is personal. This one is raw. And I think it might be exactly what you needed to hear today.

In this episode, I unpack the emotional education almost nobody received growing up — and the simple framework that completely changes how you understand anger, anxiety, jealousy, and every other feeling you’ve been trying to fight.
