A Special Episode: Honoring All Dads, A Father’s Day Tribute

Send us Fan MailFather’s Day can hit your heart from two directions at once: deep gratitude and deep grief. Shelly shares a personal message to honor the dads, bonus dads, and father figures who shape our lives, often in quiet ways that don’t get enough credit. This is a pause from the noise of wellness “shoulds” and a return to what supports real emotional well-being: love, connection, and appreciation while we still have time.She talks about her own dad, the joy he carried, the way he made people feel seen, and how hard it was to watch him struggle with illness near the end of his life. She also honors her bonus dad, Rick, and the shock of losing someone unexpectedly. If you’ve ever looked back and realized you can “connect the dots” more clearly with time, you’ll feel this. We can miss them fiercely and still feel thankful they were ours.Shelly also celebrates her husband Brad as an involved, intentional dad and reflects on what it means to make family a real priority in the middle of work, schedules, and responsibilities. Those everyday choices are part of wellness too, because mental health and family relationships are inseparable from how we live, cope, and heal.If this resonates, share it with someone who needs a gentle nudge to reach out, and please subscribe, leave a rating and review, and tell me who you’re honoring today.CONNECT WITH SHELLY: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wellnesswithshellyj https://www.instagram.com/momswhoflourishFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShellyJefferis A few of Shelly's favorite clean products:High quality, clean nutrition and beauty products: https://shellyjefferis.isagenixClean-crafted wine, free from chemicals & pesticides:https://scoutandcellar.com/?u=healthyhappyhoursJuJu Non-toxic candles & air fresheners:https://goodjujucandles.com/?ref=mrtgnyghCoupon code for 10% off: ShellyJefferisThank you for listening to the Words of Wellness podcast with Shelly Jefferis.
