Jason MacKenzie on Reinventing Yourself After Tragedy – EP 111
This week on the Dad Spotlight podcast we are bringing you Jason MacKenzie, author of The Dadly Book of Open to talk about loss and how he re-invented himself after the loss of his wife.
In this book Jason Mackenzie shares a moment of reckoning that occurred four years after his wife’s suicide. After yet another day of heavy drinking his daughter Melody,who was nine years old, looked him in the eye and told him she was disappointed in him. She found the courage to be honest with her dad and that finally gave him the courage to be honest with himself.
What he found was a man who was scared, uncertain and didn’t believe in himself. In confronting and overcoming his demons, Jason has learned many profound lessons on what it means to be a strong, courageous and wise father. These lessons are critically important and applicable to each and every one us. Why is no one teaching them to us?
Fathers often view vulnerability as weakness. Society has taught them to believe that understanding and showing their emotions are makes them weak. This has created generations of fathers who are unable to create deep and meaningful connections with themselves, their children and the people in their lives. It’s tragic to see how many men and fathers never create their greatest impact.
The DADLY Book of Open tears up these outdated ideas and shows fathers how to Master the Art of Vulnerability. In this book you will gain further understanding that:
* Vulnerability is the source of your greatest personal power.
* Howto create unbreakable relationships forged around what truly matters.
* Howto use the insights you have learned to serve others and create limitless opportunities.
* Practical,actionable guidance on how to become the best dad, man and leader you can possibly be.
* How to leave a legacy that your children will enthusiastically carry on.
In talking with Jason Mackenzie he stated that sitting my girls down and telling them that their mother was dead was the hardest thing I have ever done.
Jason MacKenzie coped during those years and the years after by drinking. He was too afraid to be vulnerable enough to ask for help. I see now that I was trying to avoid grieving. You can only run from that for so long. I’ve quit drinking now and my life has totally changed.
Jason MacKenzie’s mission now is to educate people on the benefits of sharing their stories. He wants to teach people about the incredible power of vulnerability.
