We hope you enjoy this Father's Day edition as I interviewed 5 amazing dads.

It's not easy being a dad but it's the most important job I've ever had.

Personally, I decided to give up working in person so I could be here for my daughter for the last 13 years as she continues her journey into adulthood. Every dad and every kid takes a different journey to find themselves.

And here are a few of their stories. This is dedicated to all the amazing dads out there.

Rachel and Rocco joined us today. Rachel's journey hasn't been easy but she's in a better place because of Rocco and lots of self-care.

I hope you enjoy this very transparent episode as much as I enjoyed spending time with the two of them.
