Happiness is a concept that we all have been conditioned to chase our whole lives; along with feeling and the imagery that are associated with it.  So the irony of finding happiness amidst what could be the most difficult time in your life may seem almost impossible or ironic.  But this episode aims to prove otherwise.  

We have an another interview with another Dad with a unique story.   In this episode, our guest will share his unique journey to single fatherhood with us.  He will take us through the emotional roller coaster of his evolution, the challenges of the divorce process and life changes that occured for him.  It may not have been easy, but hearing his story illustrates his  resillience in coming out stronger on the other side of it all.   

Our special guest, Matt has been a long time educator, coach and mentor for the youth.  He is passionate about all areas of his career and in difficult times has kept him grounded.  He shares many of his challenges and lessons learned: 

•  Finding what it means for you to be happy now to build your new future
• How to define happiness in your new phase of life
• Re-discovering yourself at this phase in your life
• What it means to be a "Yes" man-to others and yourself
• Taking action to educate yourself and to re-gain control of the situation
• Finding a purpose to ground you in difficult times

We would like to pivot our discussions from the individual healing perspective of the divorce process, to focus on other affected parties of the situation.  Your child/children are at the centre of this change in your family situation, and extra consideration should be given to them.  To ensure their well-being are at the forefront of the decisions being made that affect them.  This episode is the beginning of a series of episodes we will have that are dedicated to parenting and helping your children during this time.  

We have a very special guest joining us; Chef Pam Fanjoy (MSW,  RSW).  She has been a clinical Social Worker for over 30 years with experience in working with children and families from complex situations.  She's also an award winning Chef and a winner of Top Chef Canada.  Now she's harmoniously mixed together her passions into  her unique cooking therapy model.  Hear more about it in this episode.

Pam shares plenty of her insight and practical tips on how to go through this change with your children and make it as smooth as possible for everyone involved.  

We hope that you will have plenty of takeaways from this conversation.  Look out for a part 2 of this series in the coming year.

In this episode, we have a special guest who will will call "Mr. T" for the purpose of keeping his identity private.  (As many of our Divorced Dad guests will be doing so in able to keep their private information as well as of their ex-spouse, and families.  Given the sensitive nature or intricate details they will be giving us the privilege of learning about them and their individual situations.  By doing this, it allows us to share their authentic personal journeys without compromising their privacy.) 

He has embarked on his own healing journey for over 2 years now.  He will be discussing some of his lessons through his soulful healing journey:

• The healing journey-what it is and its different stages
• Healing from past wounds and traumas
• His sobriety- what it taught him about himself and the people he surrounded himself with, how this has helped with his spiritual alignment
• The type of person you attract when you have unhealed trauma/woulds from childhood
• The magic that happens when you focus on yourself and become a magnet to like minded people
• Working through your depression
• Taking responsibility for your own actions
• Acting in a way that is aligned with the person you want to be
• Being one with your mind, body and spirituality as a result
