Today we discuss fatherhood, a subject that is near and dear to my heart as a dad to six kids. This episode explores the relevance of fathers to all areas of our lives, and how they can make life good, bad, or just plain ugly. 

I talk about the critical role that good fathers play in anchoring a family. I view Clint Eastwood's characters in classic westerns as a great example of what a good dad is all about - calm, confident and strong no matter what. I explain how universal and powerful the experience of love between a dad and his family can be, and how to fully embrace this bond for yourself. I share the story of when I became a father, which changed my perspective on life forever. 

We discuss bad fathers and the impact they have on families. I outline why dads who are physically present but emotionally absent can do more damage to their kids than those who simply aren't there. We explain the importance of connecting with the father figure in your life, and how to heal that relationship within even if he isn't around. 

We address when fatherhood gets ugly due to addiction, abuse and other severe issues. I explain how to take the power back if you have been traumatized by this family dynamic, so you can move on and create an authentic joyful life regardless of how your dad treated you. 

In this customized Medihealing®, meditation and healing in one, I help you connect with your father no matter the relationship you have with him or if he is still alive.  Then I guide you into a new understanding of how you understand and define your father. From this space you will be able see him without judgment, allowing you to release any harmful paternal energy you may be holding onto.
