205: The First Person I Ever Loved

Meet the love of my life… my oldest son, Brent. 

Today you get to meet the first person I ever loved. The one who taught me what real love, unconditional love, looked and felt like. 

Brent is my first born son. 
Even at 33 years old my heart bubbles and my entire world lights up when he walks into a room. 

My deep thinking child sat in the podcast chair totally unprepared, unrehearsed and uninformed because I wanted the raw truth from him as I asked the hard questions. 

Things like:

How did my divorce impact your childhood?

Where do you think I messed up?

How did you move past the tough times?

What lessons did you take with you now that you’re an adult, father, husband, and coach?

And of course, I had to ask what brain lessons he has taken with him along the way. 

It isn’t always easy to hear your child tell you the pain they went through, especially when you may have been part of the reason. 

But, from my mom heart to yours, there are SO many lessons we can learn from our children if we go deep enough to ask the tough question, and are willing to hear the answers. 

This interview is full of wisdom from my boy who is now a man.
