In this deeply emotional and heartfelt episode, I sit down with my 15-year-old son, Jahari Barron, for a raw and authentic conversation about grief, loss, and resilience.
Jahari has faced unimaginable pain at a young age, losing both his father and his older brother. He opens up about the unbreakable bond he shared with his father, the devastating impact of his loss at just 9 years old, and how the weight of grief, the pandemic, and external pressures felt overwhelming.
He also shares his journey through the loss of his brother, who was hospitalized for over a month before passing away. Through it all, Jahari has learned to navigate his emotions, develop positive coping strategies, and find his own path toward healing.
This conversation is real, unfiltered, and filled with love—a mother and son sharing their hearts, their struggles, and their hope for the future.
💔 If you've ever experienced loss or love someone who is grieving, this episode is for you.
