Episode 1: From Absent to Present
In our debut episode of Fatherhood Forward, join Wood, Jahi, and Corey as we dive into the deep and often emotional journey of fatherhood. We reflect on our own childhoods, discussing how the presence—or absence—of our fathers shaped us into the men and fathers we are today.
We tackle the tough topic of absent fathers and explore whether the excuse of not having a role model is valid. Despite the challenges we faced growing up, we’re committed to being present and positive influences in our children's lives. From resentment and forgiveness to the conscious effort of reaching out and rebuilding relationships, we share our personal stories and the lessons we’ve learned along the way.
