Mario's Story: Overcoming Abandonment & Blame Part 1

Join us for the first half of our conversation with Mario. In this episode, we sit down with proud girl dad, Mario Cancilla.  He shares his personal journey of overcoming the challenges of fatherhood and the profound impact of his own father's abandonment. Mario opens up about the pain of being blamed for his dad's decision to sever their relationship repeatedly throughout his childhood and how he had to navigate the emotional aftermath. Join us as we delve into the transformative power of resilience and the pursuit of being a loving and present father even without a great example.
