This week Bobby Berg host of the StudentFyre Podcast joins me to explore anxiety, depression, and feelings of abandonment. We explore the backdrop for his most recent Instagram posts addressing anxiety and depression. I asked him if those feelings were related to his lack of experience with his dad. He responded, "Absolutely!" Join us as we explore not only how he worked through his own feelings of abandonment but how he is helping his students through similar feelings.

Originally I wasn't going to do a part 3 of "A Dad's Experience with Suicide".  However, after a conversation with a listener about his own experience with depression and his failed suicide attempt and a conversation I had with my daughter I thought a third episode was needed.  Join me as we discuss the challenge of bottling up all of our emotions, not giving ourselves kudos, and abandonment issues that can lead to depression, anxiety, and potentially suicidal thoughts

We also explore this signed that your loved one might have abandonment issues

The outpouring of comments, support, and questions for last week's episode of "A Dad's Experience with Suicide" has motivated me to create a follow-up episode.  I thought I'd share some practical tools that we've put in place to protect not only our loved one struggling with suicidal thoughts but also ensure the safety and well being of other members of the family.

A few highlights:

If you have any comments or have personal experiences you would like to share please reach out to me at [email protected] or direct message me on TikTok, Instagram or Facebook.

Events have occurred this week that have pushed me to share some very personal experiences and thoughts about suicide. Many families are faced with teens, younger children, mothers, and even fathers who wrestle with suicidal thoughts and related mental health issues. These thoughts are very personal and have debated what to share for some time as I want to be respectful of my own family members but also the seriousness of the issue. 

I truly hope something that I share with you today will be of help to you and your family. If you need a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, a heart to pray with please give me a shout.

The Suicide Hotline is 1-800-273-8255

This week I visit with artist Dave Conrey. We explore fatherhood as a creative person and artist. Does it lead to creativity as a father or is it ingrained in who you are? And do you have to be an artist to be a creative dad
