Dear Mango, Podcast | Episode 10 | The Anchor | FULL EPISODE

Warren and Jabari sit down with Mona to talk about the people and places that held them steady, growing up in Pasadena and Altadena, losing their fathers, and how the Eaton fire changed a community they thought would always be there.Jabari remembers his father's rule, "survival is an instinct, not an option," and the years it took to understand what that actually meant. Warren remembers his father's calm and a life that he created where there was no room for excuses. Both talk about what it means to carry a parent's voice long after they're gone, and what changes when a community that raised you is no longer what it once was.This is an episode about anchors, the ones you're given, and the ones you build. And what you learn about yourself in the aftermath of loss. You Just Don't Break, Do You?Reflection prompt: What is your anchor then and now?Write now.
