Transforming Trauma: Becoming the Father You Never Had

In this Father's Day episode, Dr. Kim is talking with Kendall Smith all about fatherhood. Kendall Smith was a "complete rookie" when he became a Dad, welcoming his “giant baby boy, Connor." Not only was Kendall a rookie at being a father, but he was also a rookie because he'd had little experience with his own dad, having been raised by a single Mom. So, to understand how to parent successfully, he spoke to many role models about fatherhood. The lessons he learned as a “Rookie Father” are collected in his book Rookie Father, subtitled “A Playbook for Men Experiencing Fatherhood for the First Time.”
