Empath Reacts to Ren - Troubles

This one hit me straight in the heart. Troubles is Ren at his most raw and unfiltered, sharing his lived experience with both physical and mental illness in his own words — no armor, no performance, just truth. There’s something incredibly powerful about the way he speaks plainly about pain without sensationalizing it.

If you haven't seen/heard "Troubles" by Ren please do so here:    • Ren - Troubles  

One line that especially stayed with me was when Ren shared that he wished songs like this had existed when he was going through the worst of it. That sentiment resonated deeply with me. I know how much it matters to feel seen during your hardest moments, and I’m so grateful that he is here now creating music like this for those who are still in the thick of it.

This isn’t just a song — it’s a reminder that you’re not alone, that your struggles don’t invalidate your strength, and that even in the darkest seasons, your voice matters. I’m grateful Ren chose to share this piece of his journey with us.

Thank you, as always, to the Renegades for walking this path with me and for creating such a compassionate, supportive space around this music. 💛
