Grammy-nominated R&B artist Omarion opens up about the deeply personal experiences that have shaped his spiritual and creative growth. From navigating betrayal and redefining joy, to discovering the healing power of music and meditation, Omarion's story is one of unwavering resilience and self-discovery.

Raised by a young single mother, Omarion shares how growing up without strong male role models taught him the invaluable lessons of integrity and living "unbothered." He reflects on his 3-year period of celibacy, and the difference between seeking joy versus mere pleasure.

Omarion is candid about the ups and downs of success and his sense of self-worth, and how practices like meditation and fatherhood have nurtured his purpose. He emphasizes the importance of supporting children's excitement and natural talents.
