Fatherly Tales Podcast

A simple moment between a dad and his daughter turned into millions of views and ultimately inspired Scott Wanless to build Better Together, a community helping families become stronger together.

Scott is a dad of two, and in this conversation we explore the power of positive affirmations, fatherhood, raising confident children and the everyday moments that can shape our kids for years to come.

Sometimes it isn't the big things our children remember.

It's the small moments.

It's the words we say.

It's simply being there.

A Fatherly Tales conversation with Scott Wanless about fatherhood, family and the impact we can have as dads.

What if some of the patterns you carry didn't actually start with you?

In this episode of Fatherly Tales, Simon talks with Damien Wynne about family patterns, ancestry, epigenetics and the subconscious influences that can shape how we think, feel and behave.

Together they explore the idea that our family history can influence the present — and how becoming conscious of these patterns may give us an opportunity to change what gets carried forward.

For fathers, this raises an important question:

What are we passing on to our children?

We discuss inherited patterns, generational cycles, the subconscious mind, ancestry and what it can mean to consciously choose a different path.

A fascinating conversation about understanding where we come from, recognising the patterns we carry, and deciding what we want to pass on to the next generation.
