This bonus episode is a deeply personal journey into grief, healing, and forgiveness with my good friend Alec Zeck. I share raw and unfiltered reflections on my relationship with my father, a man who once embodied chaos and anger, but who, through his own awakening, became a shining example of curiosity, growth, and transcendence.
From cold plunges and canoe trips to soul-level conversations about plant medicine and ketamine therapy, we became mirrors for each other—moving from a wounded father-son dynamic to something resembling divine peerhood.
Alec and I also explore what it means to truly forgive our perpetrators—which includes navigating the long, nonlinear path of healing from trauma, finding grace even when it's not deserved, and learning how to hold both love and hurt at the same time.
This episode is for anyone who’s felt the ache of generational pain or the weight of grief for lost time and presence with the people who have shaped our lives.
