About this episode

Dodge Feeler discusses the challenges of fatherhood and the difference between performing rituals and truly living them.

Dodge Feeler is a telehealth founder, a father, and someone who has done a lot of living in a short amount of time. He went from being a hair restoration surgeon at 33 who thought he had already peaked, through a divorce, through the spiritual marketplace, through fatherhood, and out the other side with a very different set of priorities. In this conversation, he and Hector get into what it actually takes to stop cycling through healing modalities and start living the work. They talk about what fatherhood demands of you that nothing else will, why so many men confuse doing the ritual with being changed by it, and what it looks like to become a man your son actually learns something from. It is a raw and honest conversation that does not have a tidy conclusion, which is kind of the point.
