JR reflects on the dark hole he had to climb out of, the turning points that changed his perspective, and the moment he finally decided enough was enough. If you’ve ever wrestled with purpose, comparison, fear, or trying to figure out how to keep going when life looks different than you planned, this episode will hit hard. At the center of it all is a message about resilience, faith, and learning how to keep striving without giving up.
