Bullying doesn’t end in elementary school—it evolves. In this raw continuation of Episode 63, Edward and Alyssa take us deeper into the world of junior high and high school bullying: from silent suffering to navigating school politics, and why "just ignore it" doesn't cut it anymore.

They get brutally honest about social media, the failures of school systems, the trauma parents miss, and what they wish they’d done differently. With personal stories, heated moments, and a call for real-world tools (like their upcoming Bullying Response Checklist), this episode is equal parts heart, heat, and healing.

In Episode 62 of Fatherhood Voices, Edward and Alyssa dive deep into a raw and powerful conversation about childhood bullying from preschool to adulthood. With stories of trauma, undiagnosed conditions, and tough family dynamics, they shine a light on the unspoken pain many kids carry and the role parents must play in breaking generational cycles.

From bathroom sanctuary confessions to fiery debates on how to fight back (literally and figuratively), this episode pulls no punches. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or someone healing your own inner child this one hits home.

What does it really mean to be present—as a father, a mentor, a man? In this powerful episode, real estate leader and father Anthony Morrell opens up about growing up without his father and the two older brothers who stepped in to fill that role. He reflects on the deep impact of mentorship, the lessons of legacy, and the mindset shift from simply providing to truly protecting. 

From childhood memories to building a home on a golf course for his daughter’s dreams, Anthony shares how faith, fatherhood, and personal growth have shaped the man he is today. Whether it’s coaching his kids, confronting trauma, or becoming the “Chief Fun Officer” of his family, his journey reminds us that healing and purpose often come full circle.

What if everything you believed about your family wasn’t the whole truth? 

In this heartfelt episode, Alphonso Sanchez Chandler shares the moment he found out that the woman he called mom—and the man he thought was his biological father—weren’t his parents by blood. From a quiet conversation that changed everything to the results of a DNA test, Alphonso opens up about how that discovery shaped his identity and his journey as a man. 

This is a story about truth, healing, and finding strength in the roots you choose to grow.

In Episode 59 of Fatherhood Voices, Edward and Alyssa get deep—and a little hilarious—as they unpack the old-school parenting style known as the "TRA Dad" (Traditional Rules and Authority). From iron fists to tender regrets, Edward reflects on raising daughters with tough love, while Alyssa opens up about how it shaped her emotional world. 

Together, they dive into the rise of soft parenting, PTSD from college (yes, really), why participation trophies are ruining kids, and what happens when dads turn Barbie time into UFC training. 

There’s also a wild reveal: Edward paid neighborhood boys to secretly report on his daughter in high school 😳… and it gets even funnier with the case of the missing teddy bear Poopy, who may or may not still be held for ransom.

In Episode 58 of Fatherhood Voices, Edward and Alyssa go off-script—and off the rails—in one of the most raw and hilarious episodes yet. From underage drinking and first crushes to awkward “birds and bees” talks and surprise document discoveries (yep, that one with the bold notes), this episode dives deep into the uncomfortable convos parents avoid but desperately need to have. They unpack the real fears behind house parties, why some parents shouldn’t drink, and how trauma shapes parenting styles. Oh—and wait for the twist involving a spreadsheet called “People Assets and Liabilities.” Oof. 

This one’s funny, heartfelt, and maybe a little triggering (in the best way). You’ll laugh, reflect, and maybe even text your kid after.
