Society has placed expectations of what it means to be a man, masculinity, and traditional roles of father that have made it difficult for some men to navigate being a present and engaged dad in their family. In this episode, Judie interviews Jody about his podcast Father's Fire. They explore conversations that he's had with hundreds of men about the father/husband relationship and the impact of society's expectations (sometimes very black and white) on dads which can be both positive and negative on the family.

This past weekend we celebrated the graduation of our daughter Ke'ilani from UVU. It was a fantastic weekend! But Jody had an experience that made him feel like was outside looking in, like a viewer instead of a participant. A lot of people struggle with kids leaving home because the lose a sense of purpose, identity, and even control.

Join us as we explore a transition that is happening right before our eyes that we're sure other people go through, especially as they become empty nesters.

This week Judie and I discuss the glaring fact that life is not black and white. And if it was it would be very predictable and boring.  There is a lot of grey in life especially when weighed against what we should do, what's expected, what is tradition, what is acceptable, and honestly just making decisions.

How have you overcome black-and-white thinking or has your world become more black-and-white?

Thanks for joining the conversation

Cheers!

Jody and Judie

Cheers!

Judie and I  have been mulling over the idea of starting a new podcast for over a year and we’ve finally gave birth to it!!

Launching….”Into the Grey”

Us humans tend to think of things in black and white, right and wrong, and your side or my side, when there is a lot of grey in between. We have come to realize that the GREY area is synonymous with GROWTH. 

Our goal in this new podcast is to explore the nuances of life - of growing and becoming. We will explore everything from individual growth, family, social issues, politics, faith, religion, and more.  Basically, we will explore what will make us look inward and outward with more empathy, grace and love as we move through this crazy thing called Life.
