Grateful Co has one of the realest stories to ever hit this chair.

In this episode, we sit down with the Bajan artist behind “I Like Her Too,” “Living Fast,” “When Last,” and “Center” to talk about way more than music. This is a full testimony on the block, bad decisions, gunshots, jail, God, fatherhood, and finding purpose.

🎙 In this conversation, we get into:

• Growing up in St. John and chasing music from Junior Monarch days
  

• How the girls, the hype and the hustle first pulled him toward entertainment
  

• When the music money wasn’t making sense and the streets stepped in
  

• Getting caught up in war, being shot in the back by police and living with the bullet to this day
  

• Jail time, loneliness, and the first “click” moment when his daughter was born while he was locked up
  

• The emotional battle of trying to be a present father when systems, family and past choices are against you
  

• How he found his way back through God, gratitude and a second chance at life
  

• The meaning behind his name “Grateful Co” and why he calls himself a “Product of Change”
  

• His dream to start a Product of Change foundation to help youth, ex-offenders and anyone trying to escape the cycle
  

This episode is for:

• Anyone who thinks they’re “too far gone”
  

• Fathers fighting to be in their children’s lives
  

• Youth flirting with the streets
  

• People who judge from the outside but never really listen to the story
  

If you ever needed proof that anybody can change, this is it. 💎

When you’ve spent most of your life feeling “different” and out of place, what does it look like to finally come home to yourself?

In this episode of Gems From Friends, I sit down with Gigi Farrier – stylist, educator, women’s wellness & mindset coach, fitness champ, and host of the solo podcast Wake Up to Wisdom – for one of the realest conversations we’ve had on the show.

We talk about:

• Growing up feeling like you never quite fit in
  

• The culture shock of studying abroad and working in the beauty industry
  

• Panic attacks, “social anxiety,” fibromyalgia and a breast lump cancer scare
  

• Getting late diagnosed with ADHD + autism and finally understanding her own brain
  

• How bodybuilding became one of the best things that ever happened to her
  

• Returning to school to study psychology after 20 years
  

• Being multi-passionate in a world that wants you to be just one thing
  

• Support, “majority theory,” and accepting that your biggest cheerleaders might be strangers, not family
  

• Why she started Wake Up to Wisdom and the power of sharing your story
  

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, underestimated, “too much,” or like you’re always pivoting and people can’t keep up – this episode is for you.

👂 LISTEN IF YOU NEED:

• Permission to reinvent yourself
  

• Language for your own neurodivergent or “different” experience
  

• Motivation to go back to school, switch careers or start over
  

• A reminder that your resilience is not an accident
