Don't Forget To Breathe
Originally launched in 2020, this podcast began as a form of soul-cleansing and healing, as I shared my journey as a father who suddenly lost his 20-year-old daughter in 2006—a tragedy no parent should ever have to endure.
After a three-year hiatus filled with personal transformation—including divorce, closing my business, intensive therapy, and continued healing—I return with a renewed heart and deeper understanding.
In future seasons, I’ll be sharing conversations with other parents who have bravely offered to speak about living with the unimaginable. Together, we’ll explore what grief looks like over time, and how hope, love, and even laughter can coexist with loss.
You’ll hear the shift in my voice—from where I was then, to where I am now. I trust you’ll find common ground in our stories, and perhaps a glimmer of hope as you continue on your own path.
