Episode 140 - Books for Dads - The Most Human, Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy by Adam Nimoy
Adam was born during the Eisenhower administration to Leonard and Sandra Zoberblatt Nimoy. He attended the University Elementary School, a “lab school” run by UCLA, where he was subjected to numerous psychological experiments. The experimentation continued at UC Berkeley in the form of mind-altering substances from which he may, or may not, have fully recovered. In a state of absolute certainty, Adam attended Loyola Law School. He was wrong.
After seven years of practicing entertainment law and one moment of clarity, Adam left his life as an attorney to follow his passion of making films. After directing forty-five hours of network television, some of it sublime, some of it eminently unwatchable, Adam’s career plummeted due in large part to drug and alcohol addiction. On January 1, 2004, Adam entered 12-Step recovery hoping to achieve an attitude adjustment. This was a New Year’s resolution he knew he had to keep. For 8 years, he taught writing, directing and acting at the New York Film Academy and taught filmmaking at Beit T’Shuvah, an addiction treatment center where the residents kept him on the straight and narrow.
Book: The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy
"Engaging and immensely relatable, while at the same time offering deeply profound insights into Adam Nimoy's personal relationships, particularly with his famous father." — Eugene Roddenberry Jr., CEO Roddenberry Entertainment
Living with Dad was like living with a stranger— as a kid I often had trouble connecting and relating to him. But I was always proud of him. Even before Star Trek I'd see him popping up in bit roles on some of my favorite TV shows like Get Smart, Sea Hunt, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. And then one night he brought home Polaroids of himself in makeup and wardrobe for a pilot he was working on.
It was December 1964 and nobody had heard of Star Trek. Still, the eight-year-old me had watched enough Outer Limits and My Favorite Martian to understand exactly what I was looking at. Spock's popularity happened quickly, and soon the fan magazines were writing about dad's personal life, characterizing us as a "close family." But the awkwardness that defined our early relationship blossomed into conflict, sometimes smoldering, sometimes open and intense. There were occasional flashes of warmth between the arguments and hurt feelings— even something akin to love— especially when we were celebrating my father's many successes. The rest of the time, things between us were often strained.
My resentment towards my father kept building through the years. I wasn't blameless, I know that now, but my bitterness blinded me to any thought of my own contribution to the problem. I wanted things to be different for my children. I wanted to be the father I never had, so I coached Maddy's soccer, drove Jonah to music lessons, helped them with their homework— all the things dads are supposed to do. All the things I wanted to do. So what if my Dad and I had been estranged for years? I was living one day at a time. And then I got his letter. That marked a turning point in our lives, a moment that cleared the way for a new relationship between us.

Episode 139 - A Birthday Reflection, My How Things Have Changed Around Here
As I sit alone on my birthday, the silence in the house feels both comforting and heavy. The vibrant chaos of family life has faded into quiet memories, and I find myself reflecting on the years gone by.
I remember the laughter echoing through these walls, the noise of birthday celebrations filled with balloons, cake, and the excitement of my kids. Each year, they would rush to make me cards, their little hands crafting heartfelt messages that warmed my heart. Now, those cards are tucked away in a box, cherished reminders of simpler times.
Today, there are no phone calls or surprise visits. I’ve become accustomed to this solitude, but it still stings a bit. I think about how quickly they grew up—how just yesterday we were celebrating their milestones together, and now they’re off chasing their own dreams. I’m proud of them, of course, but it’s hard not to feel a twinge of loneliness.
I pour myself a cup of coffee and look out the window at the familiar sights of our neighborhood. The world keeps turning, but my heart aches for the days when birthdays meant family gatherings and shared moments. I wonder if they’ll remember me today or if life has swept them up in its relentless pace.
As I sit here, I choose to embrace this quiet time. It’s an opportunity for reflection—an invitation to think about what’s next for me. Maybe this is a chance to explore new hobbies or reconnect with old friends. Perhaps it’s time to invest in myself as much as I invested in them.
I take a deep breath and remind myself that this phase of life is just another chapter. While the house may be empty today, my heart is full of love for my children and gratitude for the years we shared.
And who knows? Maybe next year will bring new traditions or surprises.For now, I'll celebrate quietly—grateful for the past and hopeful for what lies ahead. Happy birthday to me; it’s a new beginning in its own way.

Episode 137 - Dave Campbell, Host of the Dad Space Podcast Answers 3 Questions for Dads - NaPodPoMo
Dads can often feel isolated in their parenting journey, especially if they believe they lack support. Here are three questions that can guide a Dad in seeking advice and building a supportive network:
1. What are some effective ways to manage stress and maintain mental health as a Dad?
Managing stress is crucial for Dads, as the transition to parenthood can be overwhelming. Dads should prioritize their mental health by establishing healthy habits. This includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep, which are all foundational to maintaining energy levels and managing stress effectively. Additionally, finding time for personal interests or hobbies can provide a necessary outlet amidst the demands of parenting.
2. How can I build a strong bond with my kids while also supporting my partner?
Building a connection with your kids is essential. It’s important for dads to communicate openly with their partners about their needs and to support each other in this new phase of life.
3. What practical tips or resources have helped you navigate fatherhood?
Dads should prepare for the practical aspects of parenting. Moreover, understanding that there is no perfect time to become a parent can help alleviate anxiety about financial or personal readiness. Embracing the journey with flexibility and humor can also be beneficial, as it allows for a more enjoyable experience despite the challenges.

Episode 133 - Books for Dads - Nonviolent Communication - A Language of Life, Life-Changing Tools for Healthy Relationships
Marshall B. Rosenberg PhD
Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B. Rosenberg presents a framework for communicating with empathy, honesty, and clarity to foster mutual understanding and peaceful conflict resolution.The book introduces the Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process, which consists of four key components:
Observations: Clearly stating facts without judgment or evaluationFeelings: Identifying and expressing emotionsNeeds: Recognizing the universal human needs behind our feelingsRequests: Making clear, positive requests to meet those needsRosenberg argues that much of our habitual communication is "violent" in that it uses judgmental language, criticism, demands, and other forms of expression that create defensiveness and conflict.
In contrast, NVC aims to create compassionate connections by focusing on shared human needs and values.
The book provides numerous examples and dialogues to illustrate how to apply NVC principles in various personal and professional situations.
Key concepts include:
Distinguishing observations from evaluations
Developing emotional literacy and needs awareness
Making requests rather than demands
Receiving empathically
Expressing anger fully
Resolving conflicts peacefully
While some readers find the NVC approach transformative for improving relationships and communication, others critique it as potentially rigid or manipulative if applied inflexibly. Overall, the book offers valuable tools for more compassionate, needs-based communication, though its effectiveness may depend on how it is implemented in real-world contexts.

E131 - Books For Dads - The Power of Showing Up by Dr. Dan Siegel - Movember
Book: The Power of Showing Up: How Parental Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How Their Brains Get Wired
Parenting isn’t easy. Showing up is. Your greatest impact begins right where you are. Now the bestselling authors of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline explain what this means over the course of childhood.
“There is parenting magic in this book.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D., co-author of the New York Times bestselling classic Raising Cain
One of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out—in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships—is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a tall order. But as bestselling authors Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn’t take a lot of time, energy, or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence. And it’s simple to provide once you understand the four building blocks of a child’s healthy development. Every child needs to feel what Siegel and Bryson call the Four S’s:
• Safe: We can’t always insulate a child from injury or avoid doing something that leads to hurt feelings. But when we give a child a sense of safe harbor, she will be able to take the needed risks for growth and change.
• Seen: Truly seeing a child means we pay attention to his emotions—both positive and negative—and strive to attune to what’s happening in his mind beneath his behavior.
• Soothed: Soothing isn’t about providing a life of ease; it’s about teaching your child how to cope when life gets hard, and showing him that you’ll be there with him along the way. A soothed child knows that he’ll never have to suffer alone.
• Secure: When a child knows she can count on you, time and again, to show up—when you reliably provide safety, focus on seeing her, and soothe her in times of need, she will trust in a feeling of secure attachment. And thrive!
Based on the latest brain and attachment research, The Power of Showing Up shares stories, scripts, simple strategies, illustrations, and tips for honoring the Four S’s effectively in all kinds of situations—when our kids are struggling or when they are enjoying success; when we are consoling, disciplining, or arguing with them; and even when we are apologizing for the times we don’t show up for them. Demonstrating that mistakes and missteps are repairable and that it’s never too late to mend broken trust, this book is a powerful guide to cultivating your child’s healthy emotional landscape.

Episode 124 - When Anger and Frustration Shows Up and the Impact It Can Have on Others - What You Need to Hear Before You React
Have you ever crossed a line and regretted it immediately - what pushed you to that point, what was it that caused you to go somewhere you never entended to go. Anger and frustration can lead to hurtfull moments that can't be taken back.
Keep in mind...
When you're angry. Stay silent. Don't waste your time with explanations. Sometimes silence is the best way to cope with your emotions. People only hear what they want to hear. Accept criticism, but never accept disrespects. The best way to respect yourself is to discipline yourself. Persevere. And never give up on something that you truly believe.
It's difficult to wait. But it's more difficult to regret. Don't let success go to your head. Don't let failure go to your heart. If you are a giver Remember to know and learn your limits. Because the takers don't have any. Remember, it's better to cry than to be angry, because anger hurts others.
While tears. Flow silently through the soul. Clean our hearts. Giving us a fresh reset when you're angry. Stay silent.

This morning. Those who died yesterday had plans for this morning. And those who died this morning. Had plans for tonight. Don't take life for granted. In the blink of an eye. Everything can change. So, forgive often. And love with all your heart. You'll never know. If you have the chance to Do it again.
Today, there is no time. Tomorrow, there will be no energy. And the day after tomorrow. We may no longer be here. So, don't delay anything. Live a life. You will remember those who died yesterday.

Episode 123 - Author Susan Schwartz - The Absent Father Effect on Daughters
About the authorSusan E. Schwartz, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist is a member the International Association of Analytical Psychology. She has taught in numerous Jungian programs and presented workshops and lectures in the USA and many other countries.
Susan has articles in several journals and chapters in books on Jungian analytical psychology.

Winner of the Internationl Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) Book Award for Best Clinical Book 2021
The Absent Father Effect on Daughters investigates the impact of absent – physically or emotionally – and inadequate fathers on the lives and psyches of their daughters through the perspective of Jungian analytical psychology. This book tells the stories of daughters who describe the insecurity of self, the splintering and disintegration of the personality, and the silencing of voice.
Issues of fathers and daughters reach to the intra-psychic depths and archetypal roots, to issues of self and culture, both personal and collective. Susan E. Schwartz illustrates the maladies and disappointments of daughters who lack a father figure and incorporates clinical examples describing how daughters can break out of idealizations, betrayals, abandonments and losses to move towards repair and renewal. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, expanding and elucidating Jungian concepts through dreams, personal stories, fairy tales and the poetry of Sylvia Plath, along with psychoanalytic theory, including Andre Green’s ‘dead father effect’ and Julia Kristeva’s theories on women and the body as abject.
Examining daughters both personally and collectively affected by the lack of a father, The Absent Father Effect on Daughters is highly relevant for those wanting to understand the complex dynamics of daughters and fathers to become their authentic selves. It will be essential reading for anyone seeking understanding, analytical and depth psychologists, other therapy professionals, academics and students with Jungian and post-Jungian interests.
