In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Troubled Past, Jarod opens up about his ongoing battle with depression and the lessons learned from walking through some of life’s darkest valleys. He shares the truth about what it’s like to feel completely weighed down, the moments when giving up felt easier than pushing forward, and why he believes the people who are tested the most are often the ones chosen to help pull others out of the darkness.
This episode is about more than mental health — it’s about purpose, perspective, and the resilience you don’t even know you have until life demands it. Jarod’s message is raw, vulnerable, and full of hope for anyone who’s struggling right now or has ever felt like they couldn’t make it another day.
If you’ve been through depression, anxiety, grief, or heartbreak, you know the struggle is real. But you also know that the same pain that breaks you can shape you into a beacon for others still fighting. This conversation will remind you that you are not alone, your story matters, and your survival could be someone else’s lifeline.
