The Truth About Grief No One Tells You

Today’s guest is Mason Sawyer. His story is almost too heavy to imagine. In July 2021, just a month after I walked out of prison, Mason lost his wife, two of his children, his brother, and his nephew in a single car accident.In this conversation, Mason opens up about grief, strength, and why he refuses to believe that “everything happens for a reason.” We talk about how pain and hope can exist side by side, the myths people carry about resilience, and what it means to keep going, for his surviving son, Blue.This is a conversation about fatherhood, vulnerability, and the lessons that only come on the hardest days. It’s raw. It’s honest. And it will stay with you.Tune in as we dive into:(00:00) Strength through life's pain(07:56) Asking for help as real strength(12:09) Why young listeners connect(21:14) Quiet tears, loud strength(21:40) The warrior in the garden insight(29:54) Overwhelmed by grief and loss(36:08) Modeling behavior for children(39:12) Generational patterns and identity(45:34) Clear eyes, full hearts(48:43) Finding inspiration through impact(56:37) Admiration for resilience(59:21) The impact of an unexpected getawayLinks mentioned in this episode:Mason Sawyer’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/masonsawyer9110 Ninety Rule’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/10ninetyruleGet my latest book: Warrior in the Garden: 7 Rules for Men https://a.co/d/fGwcbBT
