Why Dads Matter More Than You Think

What does it mean to be a legendary father?

Discover the profound impact of fatherhood and parenting. The absence of a father can significantly affect a child's mental health, as highlighted by statistics on fatherlessness in America. Remember, dads are important for teaching life lessons and instilling strong family values.

In this emotional and raw conversation, Kelly Siegel sits down with Larry Hagner, founder of The Dad Edge, to explore how men can heal from childhood trauma, forgive their past, and lead their families with strength, love, and vulnerability.

Larry shares how breaking the cycle of abuse transformed how every man can learn to connect deeper, parent better, and finally forgive.

This one hits home for every dad, son, or man trying to become one.
