Conversations with Dad
Welcome to Conversations with Dad—an intimate podcast where a daughter sits down with her father to share honest, heartfelt conversations about life, love, and loss. Through stories of his youth, his marriage, fatherhood, and becoming a grandfather, we explore what it means to age, to face health challenges, and to carry grief after losing the love of his life—my mom. These episodes are about remembering, healing, and holding space for the past while still finding reasons to move forward. It’s a journey of connection, vulnerability, and the enduring bond between a father and daughter.
Conversations with Dad
Becoming a father
In this episode, I sit down with my dad to talk about what it meant for him to become a father and how he and my mom built a true partnership in raising their family. He shares how every decision they made - from choosing neighborhoods to limiting babysitters-was centered on giving my sister and me their full focus and support. We reflect on how they navigated parenthood largely on their own, balancing responsibility without much outside help, and the many small by meaningful adventures he created for us as kids. It's a conversation about intentional parenting, teamwork, and the choices that shaped the foundation of our family.
