EP 70: Breaking Cycles, Building Legacies Jose Bonilla on Fatherhood, Healing, and Transformation

In this powerful episode of Fatherhood Voices, Edward sits down with his longtime brother and friend, Jose Bonilla. From growing up with scarcity and the impact it had on his mindset, to losing 75 pounds and quitting cigarettes cold turkey, Jose shares his raw journey of healing, fatherhood, and personal growth.

Together they unpack how childhood memories shape the way we parent, why the energy we bring into our homes matters more than words, and how traditions like father–child dates can rebuild trust and connection. Jose also opens up about his creative side as a hip-hop artist, his real estate career, and how plant medicine shifted everything for his marriage and family.

If you’ve ever struggled with being present, breaking generational cycles, or wondering what legacy you’re leaving behind, this episode will give you both practical wisdom and deep inspiration.
