7 | Enchantment, Dis-enchantment, & Re-enchantment

Grocery shopping is a relatively easy task for most of us. Yet after experiencing the loss of his mom and a vigorous academic life in college, Jordon's mental health left him helpless in the cereal aisle. In this episode, Jordon breaks down three stages of growth in his life and the circumstances that led to each.

In a post-pandemic society, many of us have struggled with the loss of a dream or an ideal life. Jordon speaks about how he came to terms with this reality in his own journey and the steps he took to keep moving forward.
