Josh Sanchez is the host of the Swoop Radio Show Podcast - an outlet created by him to discuss sports and mental health. On his show, he is known for his transparency and on this episode it is no different as we talk about what it's like to reconcile with members of our families, in this case, his father. We delve into our personal experiences with coming to terms of forgiveness and rebuilding from what years of resentment has destroyed. Soon to be available on Podcoin.

Kelly Farley is the author of "Grieving Dads: To The Brink and Back". Released in 2012, it is a book written based on hundreds of interviews conducted with men around the world who share a similar experience - the loss of a child.

The book alongside the Grieving Dads Blog serves as great resources for parents,  more specifically bereaved fathers to share their stories in a space  that allows them to be vulnerable and remain anonymous if they choose.  Kelly also coaches men, hosts workshops and retreats, providing outlets  for those who now no longer have to grieve alone and in silence.

Sam Allen is a British-born Creative Life Coach with a passion for poetry who now resides in Switzerland. She is also a blogger at Peacock Poetry Blog and during our conversation, she shares a very special poem titled, "Electric Guitar" which serves as a tribute to her father. 

As a coach, she says about the process, "There is a lovely combination in  my sessions of lightheartedness and playfulness as well as intensity and I really enjoy that combination. It's really special to be in that  space...Writers and creatives of any field can come to deepen their own innate creativity and also gain accountability around their current project."

For the season 3 finale, I bring on J. Gordon Duncan - a pastor, business consultant, author, and host of the This Is Gonna Hurt Podcast where his topics include physical/spiritual health, finances, and family. When it comes to  altering our lifestyle for the better, he says, “If we’re going to make change in our life, we’re going to have to stop doing one thing and start doing something else and that’s typically going to be painful.The body seems to be wired, the mind seems to be wired to move toward the path of least pain...but growth is going to have to come through change.”
