The Story I’ve Carried for Nine Years
In this unusually personal episode of the Eat It and Like It podcast, Jesse Blanco steps away from the food stories, restaurant visits and travel coverage that typically define the show. Instead, he shares the story of a traumatic moment from nine years ago — something he has carried privately ever since. Recorded from St. Augustine, Florida, Jesse explains why he has chosen now to finally talk about that experience, how deeply it affected him at the time, and why it still weighs on him today. The episode is tied to Mental Health Awareness Month and comes from a place of honesty, reflection and hope. While this is not a typical Eat It and Like It conversation, Jesse’s message is an important one: you never really know what someone else may be going through, and sometimes simply talking about it can matter. Help is always available.
