PRE-ORDER: My Dads Advice At 5:04 AM

In June, we celebrate Pride Month. I am so grateful that my friend Jamila Bryant was my guest to talk about her life.  During our conversation, Jamila had several great points to help both parents and kids about her experience coming out to her family.

Love your kids unconditionally. Support your kids. Educate yourself as a parent.

We also talk about Jamila's only nephew Dwon Fields Jr "DJ" who was shot and killed on March 5, 2021.

https://www.wtoc.com/2021/06/18/bluffton-high-class-2021-remembers-slain-classmate-graduation/

I hope you will gain new knowledge and share this episode with other families who might need this information.

I failed to mention one thing about the recording of this episode. Otis was chewing on a bone in my office, and those are the sounds you will hear in the background.

Jamila's Bio:

An 18-year Air Force veteran, Jamila is passionate about personal development and leadership.

Jamila is a talented speaker and the founder of Push FORWARD Development Ltd. FORWARD stands for Facing Our Reality With Action, Resiliency & Determination. Push FORWARD is a personal development and leadership training company that serves the LGBTQ+ Community.

Her company is dedicated to developing leaders, inspiring people to become lifelong learners and to live their life authentically, with pride. She is a Certified Trainer and Speaker with The John Maxwell Team and the author of the inspirational quote brand Quote Junkie Diaries.

Hi!! I missed you so much. My gift to you is a new weekly podcast episode called "Mental Health Mondays." I want to talk to you today about family. 

There are two points I wanted to talk to you about on this episode:

  • Get outside.
  • Parents, are you a role model to your kid's when it comes to exercise?

 

We here in Colorado are so blessed to have great places to hike. Our hike had great weather and, for me, wonderful companions.

Before we start, I need your help. 

  1. Please let others know about the newsletter.
  2. If you or someone you know needs coaching, please click here and it will take you to the coaching page.
  3. My goal is to get the podcast in the top 100 Apple podcasts, and I can only do this with your help. Please leave a rating and review, share the link to the podcast with your social media followers, and support the guest on the podcast.
PRE-ORDER: My Dads Advice At 5:04 AM
www.mydadsadvicebook.com

My guest today is someone I have been working with to get onto the show for two years. He is a hard man to get a sit down with because he is so busy with his purpose in life. Plus he is rubbing elbows with the Royal Family.

Mark Williams is a Keynote Speaker, Author, and International Campaigner. He founded International Fathers Mental Health Day (always June 21, the day after Father's Day) and the #HowAreYouDad Campaign to help ensure that all parents and families are supported throughout the perinatal period.

Mark has spoken on television and radio stations around the world.  Working alongside Dr. Jane Hanley, he has published articles on Fathers (Paternal) Mental Health. 

 

In 2012, Mark was awarded “Inspirational Father of the year” and “Local Hero” at the Pride of Britain Awards.  On World Mental Health Day in 2016, Mark was invited to meet The Royal Family and in 2019 he was awarded the Point Of Light Award by the Prime Minister.

Mark is also an Ambassador for Mother's for Mother's Charity.

 

Mark and I really go into the weeds of mental health. We talk about his struggles while his son was being born. 

Please check out his TEDx Talk.

This episode means a lot to me because of the aspect of men's mental health. Please share this with men/dads who are in need of understanding that we men need to let other men know when we need help.
