In EPISODE 37 I share my initial thoughts following the loss of lives yesterday in Texas.  The episode was going to be a follow-up from last week where Kelly and I talked openly and vulnerable about the loss of his unborn child.  This is a raw episode where I share my current thoughts and feelings about all that has happened.

“In the final analysis, the question of why bad things happen to good people translates itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it has happened."

Today I go solo and talk about Mental Health Awareness Month.   I share a bit of the history of when it began along with some of my professional and personal experiences; I also shared some thoughts, ideas, and questions.   

May 14th marks the 1 year anniversary of the Therapy4Dads pod (however I release my show on Wednesdays and the 14th this year is on Saturday)  It is crazy it has been a year already - so fast (I am now a dad of 3 and I joined the ranks of girl dads, which is very exciting!)  The show is evolving and has and will be including, not only dads sharing their experiences, but other professionals and experts who can speak to the experience of men and fathers around the intersection of mental health, fatherhood, and masculinity.
