67: Repairing & Establishing the Relationship With My Dad I’ve Always Wanted (Myron Molenda)

88407430.jpeg

You’ve heard from my Mom (episode #20), my twin sister (episode #33) and now you’re hearing from my very own Dad, the infamous carry on suitcase unboxer who you may have seen in my Instagram Stories (perhaps one day you’ll hear from my older brother, Rob, too!). 

I love my Dad to bits. That doesn’t mean we haven’t had our hard moments. To be honest, I never thought we would be able to have the relationship we do now. It’s because of a few events that have happened over the past few years that we’ve been able to pivot in our relationship and establish that relationship I have personally always wanted.

In this episode we discuss:

  • My dad’s upbringing

  • Losing his dad at age 9 and how it impacted him as an individual and a father

  • My Dad’s thoughts the moment he found out he was having twins

  • How my Dad perceived my eating disorder 

  • Why my Dad continued to come up during therapy treatment for my eating disorder 

  • The turning point in our relationship 

  • My dad’s biggest life lesson 

  • Favourite Trader Joe’s products
