Ep. 1 - Dave Feingold

In this inaugural episode of The Step Stories Podcast, host Robin Breuner sits down with her friend Dave Feingold to explore his remarkable journey from a difficult childhood filled with family trauma to a balanced and fulfilling life. Dave, a seasoned real estate lawyer, shares intimate details of growing up in a tumultuous household, dealing with multiple divorces, abusive relationships, and a father he describes as a misogynistic narcissist with inappropriate behaviors. Despite these challenges, Dave has cultivated a strong, loving family of his own, being married to his childhood sweetheart Liz for 41 years and raising three wonderful children. This episode touches on the impact of birth order, the coping mechanisms Dave developed, and the profound influence Liz's stable family had on his life. Dave also reflects on breaking the cycle of dysfunction by supporting 'bonus kids' and emphasizes the importance of recognizing and apologizing for parental mistakes.Robin BreunerEmail [email protected] www.robinbreuner.comInstagram: stepstoriesIGFacebook: Robin Breuner FBLinkedin: RobinBreunerLinkIN Podcast: Step Stories PodcastThreads: @robinbreuner Hosted on Acast.
