This is a safe space to build upon and reinforce the values of fatherhood. We'll explore the gaps between the current generation of fathers and fathers of generations past, and mature the dialogue that will close those gaps for the generations to come. Whether your passion is to be a great father or peel back the layers of why your father wasn't present in your life (physically and/or emotionally), this is for you. Let's grow through it.

The Label Is the First to Leave | Navigating Identity | Ep 159 | The Dear Son, Show
In this episode of 'The Dear Son, Show,' hosts Jey Blac and D Johns engage in a raw and meaningful conversation designed to help young men and boys understand the lessons they wish they'd known earlier in life. They open with reflections on holiday experiences and the importance of managing expectations and stress. The discussion evolves into a deep dive into the concept of 'labels'—how we define ourselves and the impact of societal and self-imposed labels on our well-being. The hosts also explore how parents can better support their children's true passions and talents rather than imposing career labels that may not fit. Furthermore, the episode addresses the significance of maintaining core values through life transitions, and offers thoughtful advice on navigating relationships and friendships. Don't miss the insights packed into this episode. Make sure to like, comment, share, and subscribe to 'The Dear Son, Show' for more inspiring discussions.
