He shares how growing up around violence and silence created emotional habits that felt normal but were actually harmful. His work focuses on calling out these hidden cycles and showing people how to stop passing them down. Instead of pushing through with pride or shame, Jason talks about the power of honesty, support, and real self-reflection. It’s not about pretending to be fine—it’s about admitting what’s not working and finally deciding to do something different. That’s when true change starts to take root.
