From Behind on Bills to Ahead of the Game

In this episode of Troubled Past, Jarod and Skyler record from the living room of their San Diego Airbnb — reflecting on just how much life can change in a short amount of time.
Jarod opens up about being two months behind on bills, struggling financially, and even staying in what felt like a “crack head motel” during a previous trip in September. It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t comfortable. But it was real.
Fast forward to now — and things look very different.
They talk about how through discipline, mindset shifts, and what Jarod calls the law of attraction, they’ve moved from survival mode to stability. Bills are caught up. Most of his mom’s bills are being paid. The house build is nearly complete. And instead of scraping by, they’re staying in a 3-bedroom Airbnb with a pool.
This episode is about perspective. It’s about how quickly things can shift when you commit to change. And it’s about showing your kids what perseverance looks like in real time.
If you’ve ever felt stuck financially, behind in life, or unsure if things would turn around — this episode is proof that momentum is real.
