The Dad I Never Knew | Hypnotist Paul Ramsay Redefines "Family"

from Modern Dadhood | Unpacking Fatherhood + Parenting for Dads (and Moms!) · host Marc Checket, Adam Flaherty, Chris Ballew, Spencer Albee, Caspar Babypants, Paul Ramsay

What does the word "family" mean to you? Is it your immediate blood relatives with whom you share DNA? Or can "family" be chosen based on interpersonal relationships, regardless of ancestry? And who gets to decide the official definition, if not each one of us individually? Today, Adam and Marc welcome guest Paul Ramsay, a certified hypnotist, to share a compelling story about the dad he never knew, and how his experience as a son redefined the word "family" for him. Also, Marc's boys go a bit wild with some new rubber drinking straws! Episode 48 finds the guys back together recording in person for the first time in almost 16 months. They  open the conversation by reminiscing about the past year or more, and discuss their skepticism about fully accepting a return to normalcy. The guys welcome guest Paul Ramsay into the conversation. Paul is a Certified Hypnotist and a longtime friend and collaborator of Adam's. The guys quickly turn the show over to Paul, who recounts a compelling story about his experience with an absentee father, a stepdad who swept in and selflessly filled that paternal role, and what happened when a half sibling reached out to make contact after decades of silence.In an installment of "Did I Just SayThat Out Loud?", Marc shares an exclamation which might sound confusing (or even perverse) without explanation.[Episode Transcript]LINKS:Paul Ramsay, HypnotistBest Hypnosis TrainingBest Hypnosis Training on InstagramThe PartnerhoodRed Vault AudioCaspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeStuffed Animal #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast
