Feeling like life’s got you stuck on a loop of stress, bills, and burnout? You’re not alone. In today’s episode of Ask Dad, we explore how stepping outside—yes, literally—can help you step back into yourself. We’re talking nature as medicine: the kind of healing that doesn’t require a prescription or a paycheck. Our caller today shares the heavy weight of living paycheck to paycheck, feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to get ahead. But sometimes, the path forward isn’t in your bank account—it’s under your feet. Let’s talk about sunlight, sanity, and the simple power of pausing under the trees.
And hey—did you hear about the tree that started a wellness blog? (Yeah… turns out it had a lot of leaves to turn over. 🌳)
This episode is dedicated to my friend Dawna, who always knew that sometimes the best therapy session starts with a walk and a deep breath.
The love is real and the man is real - we talk about it all. The good. The bad. The Dad.
