At just 8 years old, Jalen Gladney lost his mother to carbon monoxide poisoning—and he’s been silently carrying that pain ever since. In this deeply moving episode, Jalen opens up for the first time about the grief he never truly processed, the absence of his father, and the near-death experience that convinced him his mother is still watching over him.
He speaks candidly about using weed and lean to cope with the pain .
He opens up about the confusion of being seen as a “villain” when he feels like he’s only ever tried to be good to people. Jalen also shares his passion for music, questioning whether his true purpose lies in his talents—or somewhere deeper.
This is a story of survival, spiritual connection, and the journey to healing when the world doesn’t make sense.
