Disclosure: I have partnered with Life of Dad and Meta Wellness for this promotion. I honestly don’t remember having too many heart to heart talks with my dad when I was younger. I’ve certainly had a lot more in my adult years. Having kids. Buying a house. Starting a new job. Plenty of those for sure, but I just don’t recall many from when I was a kid.
