Meeting Your Best Self: Labels, Diagnosis & the Fight to Be Real

What's Up! with John and Reena

In this raw and honest conversation, John and Reena get into the emotional journey of personal transformation, mental health, and resilience. From confronting rare diseases to reckoning with mental health misdiagnoses, the discussion explores how labels can both hinder and help, and what it really takes to reclaim agency over your life.
Listeners hear compelling stories — including a father’s struggle with his son’s rare muscular dystrophy, a giant defying expectations, and a moment of awakening at the suicide prevention hotline — that challenge traditional views of diagnosis, self-worth, and healing.
This episode is about breaking patterns, rejecting limiting beliefs, and stepping into your best self, even if you haven’t met them yet. And, then there's the guy who charged $250 to edit a podcast ... follow along for the conclusion to this story.
