What if the man you were trying not to become… is the one who shaped you the most?

In this soul-punch of an episode, I go deep. Like, back to childhood trauma, legacy, addiction, fatherhood, and healing kind of deep. I open up about what it’s been like to outlive my dad—a man who struggled with addiction, who was both a shadow and a mirror in my life. This isn't just about grief. It's about identity, healing, and choosing a new path when the old one feels pre-written.

Whether you had a complicated relationship with a parent or you’re wrestling with your own inner battles—this one’s for you.

🔍 Here’s a taste of what’s inside:

• The surprising emotion I didn’t expect to feel the day I realized I had officially outlived my father
• How addiction isn’t just about substances—and how it quietly shaped my own behaviors and thought patterns
• The legacy we carry vs. the legacy we choose to leave
• Why healing doesn’t mean forgetting—and how you can forgive someone without excusing what they did
