My guests this week are two extremely important dads when it comes to the world of fatherhood.   Rupesh Bhambwani is a distinguished individual who wears multiple hats with aplomb. His most cherished role is that of a Dad, a title he holds with immense pride. The priceless moments he shares with his children as they grow are the highlights of his life. On the professional front, he boasts a distinguished career spanning over 25 years in the domains of Tech and Telecomms. He is highly regarded as a seasoned Business Leader, renowned for his exceptional Advisory and consulting services to companies. He has also established Cool Dads' Club, India's Premier Dad Community (https://cooldadsclub.start.page/), and is a Founding Member of the prestigious Global Dads Council.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupeshbhambwani/   Jonathan Guerrero is the Producer of the syndicated radio program and podcast called The Fatherhood Challenge. The purpose and mission of The Fatherhood Challenge is to turn the hearts of fathers to their children. Production includes both full length episodes of about 30 minutes and PSA's, both 30sec and 1min. He is also Chief Operations Officer at DreamWeaver Therapy PLLC. My role includes website development and maintenance, content development, and podcast producer. It is an absolute joy to support an organization that gives a helping hand and lifts up those who are trying to help others in their communities. There are almost no easily accessible resources for therapists and caregivers when they need it the most. They are human, too, and need support on many levels. We are here in service for them, which is an opportunity I find very fulfilling. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-guerrero-a6029341/   As mentioned in my ramblings, please go to the website www.four-paws.org and help support them, please.     Tommy Maloney is the Executive producer and host of the podcast Blending The Family, where you can find Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Spotify, and Stitcher Radio.    Tommy has spoken at TEDx Loveland, Ignite Fort Collins and was a Keynote Speaker at Everything Dad Convention.

BIO: Justin is the Founder and CEO of Project Helping, a Denver-based mental wellness organization. He grew up in a ridiculously small town in Iowa. He studied finance and economics, which he now doesn’t use. He instead played golf professionally before starting a career in the golf industry. Over 15 years, he did all the jobs one could find in this industry, most notably staying with PING golf for almost 10 years. His struggle with mental wellness led him to leave the golf business behind to start Project Helping and provide purpose, connection, and mental wellness through kyndfulness.   SOCIAL: projecthelping.org https://www.instagram.com/projecthelping/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/project-helping/     Please subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFhju6cCeHC9xphoWbN3frA   Tommy Maloney is the Executive producer and host of the podcast Blending The Family, where you can find Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Spotify, and Stitcher Radio.    Tommy has spoken at TEDx, Ignite Fort Collins, and was a Keynote Speaker at Everything Dad Convention.

My guest is Denise Boehler, who is my hero when it comes to serving the fur baby community. BIO: Do you need help getting a homeless animal's story out there? Would you like to impart the happy ending to your donors, of a successful adoption story for your website? Do you need help writing a grant and lack the time and skills needed to get your mission and needs across? Research and writing is what I do. Deep listening, processing, inquiry and creating through the written word is all part of the process of human communication. Whether it's writing from the heart, immersing in the intellect, or combining it to convey your needs in the clearest possible language, I am honored to be of service. After years of writing legal publications, I now spend my days writing about animals in need -- of a voice for their rights, of a word for their situation. I draw from the ground of ecopsychology, which allows me to infuse my work with the Buddhist philosophy of compassion and a return to a holistic, more connective relationship with nature. What are your needs? · Are you a nonprofit in need of a passionate, experienced and ecopsychology trained animal advocate? · Are you a rescue dog organization who just needs to get the story out there, but you don't have the time to write it? https://www.linkedin.com/in/colorado-animaladvocate/   This episode is sponsored by my new book "My Dads Advice At 5:04 AM," and you can get it here or here.   Please subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFhju6cCeHC9xphoWbN3frA   Tommy Maloney is the Executive producer and host of the podcast Blending The Family, where you can find Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Spotify, and Stitcher Radio.    Tommy has spoken at TEDx, Ignite Fort Collins, and was a Keynote Speaker at Everything Dad Convention.

This week's guest is Estrella Rogers.   This episode is sponsored by my new book "My Dads Advice At 5:04 AM," and you can get it here or here. Estrella is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Author, Speaker, and Relationship coach who services couples locally and internationally. She earned her master's degree in Social Work from East Carolina University. Early in her career, Estrella realized that many couples wanted to make their marriage work but were never taught, nor did they have the proper tools. This began her journey to becoming a specialist in the field of couple's work. Estrella is aware that she herself cannot "save a marriage," but it is her goal to ensure that couples have the tools and skills to achieve the relationship they desire. Wife and mother of two, Estrella recently published her first book "Prayers for My Husband." and is a published writer for "Jacksonville Scene" and "Fearless Life" Magazines. Estrella is also the co-founder and lead facilitator of Aspire Reaching Beyond the Obvious, a non-profit youth mentoring program servicing youth ages 11-18 in Jacksonville NC.   LINKS: www.starlevelcoaching.com IG: @starlevelcoaching FB: @starlevelcoaching   My question before you go.

When she’s not advocating for her clients, the best interests of their children, and civility in divorce, you can find her sailing on Puget Sound.   LINKS: Instagram Facebook  LinkedIn Twitter     My question before you go.

PRE-ORDER: My Dad's Advice At 5:04 AM https://blendingthefamily.com/products/   My guest is the Co-Founder of Fathering Together, Brian Anderson. He has a new book titled "Fathering Together." Bio Brian Anderson is a husband and father to two spirited daughters that keep me inspired and exhausted every day. Prior to co-founding Fathering Together, Brian worked as a social worker, community organizer, university chaplain, and interfaith leadership development consultant. As the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Fathering Together, Brian brings those experiences to empower fathers to be agents for positive change. When not working, Brian serves as an amateur chef for his family and works on his forthcoming book: Fathering Together which provides a roadmap for fathers using servant leadership as a guide.   LINKS: Web — Facebook — Twitter — Instagram — LinkedIn     Book info: https://bit.ly/FTBookPreSale     But here's an excerpt:   The Book Last year, my daughter told me she didn't like me anymore. It is something no parent wants to hear. In that moment, I knew nothing I could say would fix it. I'd broken her trust, and it would take time for me to rebuild and strengthen our bond. In Fathering Together, this story from my life and personal narratives from fellow dads illustrate the changing landscape of fatherhood. The old archetype of dads being breadwinners doesn't cut it anymore. We must be so much more. Thankfully, Robert Greenleaf's servant leadership model provides an answer. Driven by personal narratives from my fellow dads plus research and resources, each chapter creates a roadmap for deeper engagement with your family, your community, and yourself.  In the book, you'll hear from dads who've been there, failed, and succeeded, such as: Ted who went on a personal retreat with his partner to mentally and spiritually prepare for fatherhood.Victor who's quiet son inspired him to relearn how to get the most from life.Matt who is learning new levels of allyship is for his child who identifies as trans* Ultimately, Fathering Together is a nonfiction book that speaks to new and older dads who want to reimagine fatherhood and the relationships they have with those who matter most. & The Movement   Fathering Together is not just a book title. It is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to empowering dads to be agents for positive change. This book is filled with personal narratives from our members and strategies based on their experiences as seen through the model of Servant Leadership created by Robert Greenleaf in the 1960s. Greenleaf intended for his model to be used within business leadership, but its value translates to fatherhood perfectly. Therefore, I'm breaking the book into 3 parts. In Part 1, "Exploring Who Dads Were and Who They Can Be," I outline how past models of fatherhood left so many dads incomplete and disconnected from their families. Then, I shift focus to highlight new models that are emerging and dads who are leading with relationships and emotional connections. In Part 2, "Applying Tenets of Servant Leadership to Fatherhood," I break down Greenleaf's model with personal narratives and stories from my community to show how to shift your mindset and lean into emotional connection. In Part 3, "The Power of Community," I illustrate how we build communities of support, accountability, and vulnerability that work toward equity. Through this model, we can acknowledge our challenges and create strategies for growth and success with our children.   My question before you go. What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

Why talking about suicide with my son was so important, even though it was difficult.   Debby Waldman was born and raised in Utica, New York. She has a journalism degree from Syracuse University and an MFA in creative writing from Cornell University. She has been a newspaper reporter, a college instructor, and a radio researcher. Since marrying her Canadian husband and moving to his hometown of Edmonton, Alberta, in 1992, she has raised two children and freelanced for publications and websites including The New York Times, the Washington Post, People, Parents, Publishers Weekly, and NBC-Think. She has also written a half dozen books for children and co-written two editions of a book for parents of children with hearing loss. As the daughter of a man who died by suicide and the mother of a son who wanted to, she is passionate about promoting suicide prevention and good mental health. You can find her sharing her articles and making snarky comments as DebbyJW1122 at Twitter and sharing photos of landscapes, baking, and her dog on Instagram at debojw60.   "Four years ago, our 20-year-old son was admitted to a psychiatric hospital after trying to kill himself. That night, my husband implied that I bore some of the blame." “You kind of normalized suicide because you talked about your father all the time,” he said."
