Noted radio DJ Nic Harcourt joins Elizabeth to talk about his difficult relationship with his late TV news anchor father, his own struggles with fatherhood, and putting in the work to rebuild his relationships with his kids. Listen as Nic talks about “blowing up” his life and marriage and the subsequent work he has done to be closer to his children, the acceptance and empathy he now has for his father – who came with his own wounds and was, as Nick has since realized, “just this guy” – and his acceptance for “life on life’s terms.” If you’ve ever been a life detonator, or are the child of a parent who reached for the TNT, this episode might be for you.
