In this episode, I aim to reintroduce myself as the host and a father who has embarked on a tumultuous journey through separation and divorce from the mother of my first child. Throughout this turbulent period, I encountered immense challenges within the court system, grappled with a sense of isolation and lack of support within the community, and felt unfairly represented in society as a father. The absence of relatable role models further exacerbated my struggles, leaving me feeling adrift in a sea of societal expectations and stereotypes that did not align with my experiences and values.
The challenges I have faced and ultimately losing custody of my first child, who then moved overseas with his mother - has been actually been a gift, allowing me to discover a deeper side of myself and develop a more mindful and creative approach to parenting as a father with an international blended family, and a long distance relationship with my eldest son.

So stay positive, listen and know that there is another way.
