An Inspired Chat with Jonnie Roccsz

We recently had the chance to connect with Jonnie Roccsz and have shared our conversation below.

Jonnie , really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
To be alone. They say isolation is Elevation and now is the time for me to Elevate.

My life really been hectic these last few years my son passed last year in July that took a toll on me yet I had to learn how to manage my grief and my everyday life. To know when you the strong friend and The Strong family member it’s ok to not be ok at times. You really have to go within to find the strength that you are looking for. You have to really take the time to get outside and be with nature….

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
My mother’s fight with cancer really showed me what strength is. I had to have one of the hardest conversations of my life on. Valentines Day 10 years ago. That’s when I had to sit with my mother as she told me she only had 2 weeks left to live and the kid in me sat there lost and confused… The man in me had to stand strong and not cry because that would have hurt her more than anything!!! I didn’t cry yet I had a frog in my throat as I told her it was going to be ok she can rest. She told me it felt like torture even when she slept. Life has really been something I’ve seen the changes in me
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 I love you Marley . That’s my son… He would have been 14 on October 29th 👼🏾👼🏾👼🏾

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
I have those thoughts I’m sure we all do in this climate. You have to persevere and keep consistently going never give up
🐐🐐🐐

Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. How do you differentiate between fads and real foundational shifts?
You can’t build on a Rocky Foundation and that is what we are seeing today. Let there be Anew 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
The time and thought and preparation that has gone into this. I want this forever. I can’t be the last of my Bloodline. I’m my mother’s Only Child I’m Kim’s Son
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🐐🐐🐐
