  • Episode 6: Relationship w/ Our Fathers & Being Fathers In Midlife

    Episode 6: Relationship w/ Our Fathers & Being Fathers In Midlife
    2024/11/18
    Relationship w/ Our Fathers & Being Fathers In MidlifeEpisode Summary

    As fathers and sons, we inherit and carry powerful stories, unspoken expectations, and lasting lessons. In this thought-provoking episode, hosts Kevin Rogers and Joe DiRoma dive into the complex, often untold realities of fatherhood – both as sons reflecting on their fathers and as fathers guiding their own sons through life's biggest transitions.

    Why You Should Listen

    Kevin Rogers and Joe DiRoma, known for their depth and authenticity, use this platform to address real, unfiltered issues faced by men navigating midlife. Drawing from personal experience and inspiration from thought leaders like Dr. James Hollis, they explore relationships, legacy, and personal growth.

    Why This Episode Matters

    Midlife can bring a re-evaluation of what it means to be a father, son, and man. Through reflections on relationships with their own fathers, Kevin and Joe uncover insights that challenge men to rethink fatherhood, face their fears, and connect with their own sons in ways that truly matter. The discussion finds grounding in "The Middle Passage" by Dr. James Hollis, which explores the "first" and "second" adulthood and their impacts on our identity and family dynamics.

    Key Quotes“Men just don't give themselves permission to feel weak or vulnerable.” – Kevin“The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of its parents.” – Joe, quoting Carl Jung“Our real job as fathers is to love, listen, and just be there.” – KevinKey Takeaways
    • Facing Mortality & Legacy: Men often wrestle with their legacy and self-worth in midlife, especially as they contemplate what they’ll leave behind for their children.
    • Healing Through Vulnerability: The strength of father-son relationships often lies in vulnerability. As sons, we may crave acknowledgment, but as fathers, opening up creates powerful bonds and fosters healing.
    • Reimagining Fatherhood: The role of a father evolves. At its core, being a good father means letting children learn, guiding them with love and patience, and knowing when to let them find their own way.
    • Supporting Generational Growth: By breaking cycles of inattentive parenting, men can create lasting, positive impacts on future generations, fostering a legacy of love, support, and responsibility.

    Resources Mentioned
    • Book: The Middle Passage by Dr. James Hollis
    • Book: Swamplands of the Soul by James Hollis
    • Book: Modern Man in Search of a Soul by Carl Jung

    Choosing Authenticity Over ComfortEpisode Summary

    In this compelling episode, Kevin Rogers and Joe DiRoma explore the journey of stepping out of comfort zones to embrace a more meaningful life. Aimed at men navigating midlife, the episode dives into the tension between comfort and authenticity, the role of solitude in self-discovery, and the courage needed to embark on new adventures.

Kevin and Joe share personal stories of navigating “the middle passage” – that pivotal time when career, relationships, and health demand reevaluation. This episode speaks to those seeking change, reigniting curiosity, and choosing paths that align with their core values, rather than simply staying comfortable.

    Key Quotes

    "Sometimes, to find what you want, you have to start with what you don’t want." – Kevin

    "We must abandon our first adulthood... and pursue a new adventure, one of deeper meaning and authenticity." – Joe quoting James Hollis

    "Depression will be your penance for not challenging yourself." – Kevin

    Embrace the Beginner Mindset: Starting over can feel intimidating, but it’s essential for long-term growth and fulfillment.

    Recognize the Power of Solitude: Time alone helps clarify priorities, encouraging decisions that align with one’s core values.
