Summary

*Trigger Warning* This episode discusses suicidal thoughts and alcoholism

This week, Antoinette and Shanti start with some light-hearted pleasantries and respond to some comedic listener voicemails. We are then joined by Antoinette's father, Jay Henry. Mr. Henry's full humanity is on display as he shares his experience as both an intentionally present father and recovering alcoholic. Antoinette and her father navigate this conversation with nuance and grace, while offering listeners the opportunity to bear witness to this healing conversation between father and daughter.
