How do we break the cycle of trauma and build healthier relationships? This week on "Our Dead Dads," we sit down with Doug Beitz, host of "Intuitive Conversations with Doug," who opens up about his tumultuous relationship with his father and the impact of his dad's traumatic childhood. Doug's commitment to raising his own children differently shines through as he shares heartfelt stories of growth, resilience, and the powerful group conversations he's initiated that have connected people worldwide. These discussions have fostered a strong sense of community and support, encouraging listeners to share their stories of grief and loss.

Doug's journey from a young locksmith to a professional firefighter reveals the cultural and educational differences between Australia and the United States, highlighting his career transitions and the resilience required to navigate family dynamics and personal growth.
