This is Travis Dales and he shares his dad journey for the first time on a podcast, my podcast! He became a stepdad in 2009 to his wife’s son and found slipping into those stepdad shoes easier than some by becoming his friend first. He and Damen are like best friends and tells me how special it is and how that looks. Three years ago things got really interesting. Jennifer (his amazing wife) had their first biological child together named Riley. It was a surprise, however it was a blessed one. Riley was born with downsyndrome (trisomy 21) and that brought a few medical complications. Those were a challenge for Travis mentally and he opens up sharing his real unfiltered experiences about how he realized he needed help. This is a beautiful and real chat and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did. Thank you to Travis for your time and let’s keep the conversations going.
