49 - Erbzmagic // Magic Life & Overcoming Adversity

  • Summary

  • CW: Themes of self harm and depression.

    The willpower it takes to break out of a depressive mindset is not easy (just smile lol!). Justin's story is emotional, inspirational and something you need to hear. I almost cried filming this, and then the recording turned into something more light hearted. He's gone from fastfood, to retail, to banking, and now he's a magician and MC. He knows how to work a room!
