Estrangement From Unbearable Pain to Understanding & Forgiveness

In this raw and authentic episode, Nancy and I have an honest conversation during an evening walk about the pain of feeling estranged from our son and granddaughters. We open up about the lessons we’ve learned through this difficult experience, like living more in the present moment, realizing we were good parents because we raised a strong leader, and finding the positives that came from the negative. Even when family relationships get complicated, focusing on personal growth can help you move forward.
