We grew up together… and we finally said the quiet parts out loud.
In this episode, I ask Jon about the years we spent chasing acceptance, the labels that stick (“annoying,” outsider), and the two moments that almost broke our friendship—then what it took to repair it. We get into why we chase certain groups, the identity cost of performing a role that isn’t ours, and how a simple FaceTime at our high-school reunion changed everything. Jon also shares a major life regret (football vs. track), a neck injury that reshaped his path, and the work he’s doing now to care for his mental health and rebuild structure.
This episode is for you when you’re rewriting old stories about who you had to be—and you’re ready to choose who you are. ⚡️❤️
It takes time, patience, and practice. Keep going.
