How To Show Up For Your Life with Andrew Gil

Today, I'm joined by Andrew Gil.  Here's Andrew's bio in his own words:

"I’ve lived a colorful life full of experiences that have taught me that life keeps coming, and the “tools” we choose will determine how we get to live. Self-Awareness, Curiosity, Empathy, and Gratitude are tools. So are Disassociation, Anger, and Substance Abuse. We get to choose our tools.

At the end of 2013, I found myself in a place where I needed to let go of the tough guy that was fighting inside me and consider a different way to live, or I was about to lose the only thing I ever truly wanted, my family.

I’m Jenn’s husband and the father of two amazing teenagers who live life without fear of how I’ll react to life’s challenges; that’s how I gauge my success. 

I’ve been sober since 2013 that’s when I began the process of building my Emotional Intelligence with purpose. 

When I put a process in place for understanding my feelings it changed everything for me. It changed everything at home, and as a by-product, you can bet your ass it changed everything at work too. Being curious about what I react to also allows me to better understand the emotions of those around me.

Like everyone, I’m a work in progress, sorting through my emotional triggers, but I can now tell if my emotions have hijacked my thoughts and actions."

No B.S. Fitness for Dads with Matt Wilbur

Welcome to the Authentic Dad Podcast!  I'm David Waranch and I coach and support fathers on having a greater impact in the world, living on their own terms, and flourishing in their relationships. (Where we think it matters most).

Today, I'm joined by Matt Wilbur. Matt is the Founder and Head Coach of the The Fitness Rebellion.

Growing up, Matt  was a skinny, goofy kid who got beat up & bullied, which was what initially sparked his interest in lifting weights. He soon became obsessed with strength training and bodybuilding, pouring over information for hours on end, and methodically tracking my progress.

This eventually led Matt to start competing in bodybuilding in 2012 shortly after he had begun dating his wife, Megan. He's since competed in over 9 shows & earned several placings making me a national qualified athlete.

Coaching others is his passion and more rewarding to him to help someone else achieve success with their health & fitness than his own personal fitness wins.

If you're a dad (or other person) who needs support in your relationships and are looking to make a greater impact in the world, I would love to hear from you.

Narcissism and Toxic Relationships with Liz Merrill

Welcome to the Authentic Dad Podcast!  I'm David Waranch and I coach and support fathers on having a greater impact in the world, living on their own terms, and flourishing in their relationships. (Where we think it matters most).

Today, I'm joined by Liz Merrill. Liz is a Mediator and a Divorce Coach with a specialization in Narcissistic relationships.  She's helped hundreds of people in crisis find workable solutions so they can reduce anxiety, save money, and move on with their lives.

After earning her Master’s degree and working in the nonprofit industry for 30 years, she realized that she wanted to take the conflict resolution and problem solving skills she'd developed in a different direction. Going through a horrible divorce after a 20-year marriage made her realize that she had developed a calling for helping other people avoid the pitfalls, expense, and devastating emotional impacts that divorce can bring.   

Now she helps individuals clarify options, identify fears, blocks, and misconceptions and create a solid success plan for not only their divorce, but for the full and whole life that follows.

If you're a dad (or other person) who needs support in your relationships and are looking to make a greater impact in the world, I would love to hear from you.
