98: Growing Up Without a Dad (Arys Déjan)

Straight Talking Mental Health

"I don't know my father... I don't have a picture or a name. There is a piece of me that is unknown."

We're straight talking Growing Up Without a Dad with Arys Déjan. Arys is creator and podcast host and this week's show he tells us about his experience of growing up not knowing who is father is, moving around a lot as a child and being put into foster care. We also discuss the importance of connecting with people on a human level, not defining people by one opinion we disagree with, the influence of art on his life and he tells us about his Who & How Club.

Aisling is smiling after taking her kids to Belfast but she's riled at her inability to use Google Maps. Allan is smiling after the finale of The Good Place but the recent cancellation of Dave Chappelle's gig by a venue has him riled. Plus, we need to call out some filthy minded viewers of our last video episode!
