Fatherlessness Episodes

“As a dad I just didn’t want to go through the rest of my life not being whole with my son.” Dr. Mark Schillinger (founder of the ‘Young Men’s Ultimate Weekend’) on DADicated.com This is one of my favourite sessions so far. Dr. Mark Schillinger is 67, has 2 kids and refers to his family as a “successful divorced family”. Mark is a physician, chiropractor, neuroscientist, entrepreneur, community leader and dad. We cover his work with families, how to initiate boys into manhood, empowering youth, stress relief and Mark shares valuable experience from his own journey as a dad.

The session is very powerful, important and beautiful. Enjoy it! Happy Fathers’ Day.

Malik trains people on how to develop restorative relationships with adults and children to bring positive transformation. If you feel that podcasts help and inspire you to be a better parent I am…
