What Every Father And Son Needs to Hear ❤️
For the first time ever on Bros and Cons, we sit down with our father for a special Father’s Day episode. ❤️ This is more than just a conversation it’s a chance for fathers and sons to sit down, open up and talk about the things that often go unsaid. We speak about fatherhood, sacrifice, love, mistakes, family, raising children, the struggles men face and the importance of being present for the people we love. There are plenty of laughs, deep conversations and moments that brought tears to our eyes. We also get the opportunity to hear our dad’s testimony, his journey, the challenges he faced, the lessons he learned and the experiences that shaped the father and man he is today. Most importantly, we share some advice for fathers and sons because sometimes the words we need to hear most are the words we never get told. To every father out there, this one is for you. ❤️ Happy Father’s Day from Bros and Cons. If this conversation speaks to you, share it with your dad, your son, or someone who needs to hear it. 🙏🏽❤️ BROS AND CONS #BrosAndCons #FathersDay #FatherAndSon #Fatherhood #FathersLove #Family #MensMentalHealth #MensHealth #Testimony #PacificIslanders #Polynesian #Sydney #Podcast #FathersAndSonsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
