The Boy Who Stayed Awake to Die



Don’t Waste Your Pain Podcast is officially live. 

Our first episode is with Carrie and Carson.

A mama.  A son.  A deathbed I will never forget.

Carson died at 13, but this child was awake in a way much of the world is not.

And that is what this show is really about: waking up.

To real stories. Raw truth.
Loneliness. Betrayal. Addiction. Disease. Rape. Murder. Terrorist attacks. Death. Grief.

On Don’t Waste Your Pain, we talk about all types of pain. Not to stay in the darkness, but to find the root.

The wisdom. The medicine. The purpose.

I’ve spent the past six months preparing for this launch, sitting soul-to-soul with extraordinary humans from every walk of life. Global impact makers. Everyday heroes. People the world should know.

And every single one of them has shown me the same thing.

The narrative of “hurt people, hurt people” is only half the story.

Hurt people can heal people.

Hurt people can inspire people.

Hurt people can become the ones who bring water to a world on fire.

This is not just a podcast. It is a movement. And I would love for you to be part of it.

Check out the first episode now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. 

These stories are not meant to sit still. They are meant to move. To wake something up. To remind us we are not alone. So, while you’re there, please follow, subscribe, and pass it on.

Then stay tuned for more. Our next episode drops next week.

Please Note: We’re highlighting 1-min reels from this phenomenal conversation on Instagram all week… Check them out here: @dontwasteyourpainpodcast AND @jt_trepanier
