EP 1: Raised By a Hater Parent | A Real Conversation About Family, Doubt & Breaking Free

Yo, welcome to the first episode of Live This Life.

This one’s very personal. I sit down with some people I respect heavy — creatives, champions, real ones — and had a raw convo about what it’s like growing up with a parent who lowkey ain’t believe in you.

No bitterness just honesty & truth.
We talk about support, lack of it, pressure, faith, and how that shapes who you become.
My pops came through too, so it got deep in the room.

ALSO a Heads up:
This whole Live This Life series was originally filmed between 2023–2024 — you might catch some timecodes or location shots (like Pacific Palisades before the devastating fire in the intro) from that run. I never gave it the proper rollout, so I’m re-releasing the entire series now the way it should’ve dropped back then. Fully tapped in. Fully intentional.

If you ever felt like the people closest to you didn’t see your vision — you’re not alone.

Let’s talk about it.
