My Big Black Therapist: Triggers, Healing, and Intentional Fatherhood | Ep 224 | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. My Big Black Therapist on Triggers, Healing, and Intentional Fatherhood | Dear Son Show On the Dear Son Show, host D. Johns talks with therapist Demani Anderson (“My Big Blac Therapist”) about what success in therapy really looks like: intrusive inner conversations and triggers may not disappear, but therapy builds tools to recognize, ground, and respond differently. Demani shares how losing his mother at 21, growing up as a large Black only child with identity pressures, and later reconnecting with his father shaped his path to therapy and his brand name, which challenges stereotypes. They discuss being intentional in marriage and parenting, validating children’s experiences (especially post-pandemic), separating intent from impact, asking for help, managing biases through real relationships, and the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. 00:00 Therapy Success Defined 01:07 Show Intro and Guest 03:28 Family Wins This Week 05:42 Learning Intentionality 07:30 Path Into Therapy 07:43 Identity and Childhood 09:45 Loss and Breaking Point 11:17 Becoming Big Blac Therapist 13:05 Healing With Mom 14:43 Imposter Syndrome Talk 16:54 Therapy Tools Not Erase 18:19 Why Everyone Needs Therapy 19:37 Pandemic Impact on Kids 21:02 Stop Dismissing Children 23:53 Free Therapy Dallas County 25:13 Parents Guilt About Therapy 27:17 Generational Trauma Context 30:36 When to Push Through 31:51 Work Ethic Inherited 32:47 Beyond Survival Mode 34:21 Process Before You Crash 35:09 Therapist vs Husband Dad 36:30 Holding Space Across Differences 38:58 Naming Biases Intentionally 42:48 Capacity And Taking Off Cape 46:06 Asking For Help Personally 48:04 Owning The Brand 55:20 Choosing The Right Partner 01:00:22 Meeting Dad And Forgiveness 01:04:44 What I Wish He Said 01:07:29 Final Takeaways And Where To Find #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonshop.store Follow Damani: https://instagram.com/mybigblacktherapist https://mybigblacktherapist.com Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.

Maybe It Is Harder for Our Kids | Don't Dismiss Their Struggles | Ep 223 | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. Dear Son… It Might Be Harder for You: COVID, Tech, and Not Dismissing Their Struggles In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, D Johns and Jey Blac discuss how modern pressures—technology, social media, shifting norms, and the lasting effects of COVID—may make life harder for today’s young men. Jey Blac shares concern after hearing an “off” tone in his son’s voice following missed calls and texts, prompting him to pivot from frustration to checking in and offering space to talk. They reflect on how parents can dismiss children’s difficulties by comparing them to their own experiences, and how isolation, lost milestones like graduation, and changing work culture have reshaped expectations. The conversation emphasizes reading the room, acknowledging impact even when it isn’t a loud cry for help, and approaching kids’ struggles with neutrality, support, and humility. 00:00 Worried Dad Call 02:04 Show Intro Setup 02:47 Life Updates Loss 03:37 Support And Growth 04:47 Harder For You 06:34 COVID Parenting Blindspots 09:33 Son Sounds Off 13:12 Isolation And Expectations 16:01 Workforce Waiting Season 18:07 Marriage Reading The Room 20:30 Not Always About You 21:21 Rethinking Toughness 22:10 Damani on Lost Milestones 23:39 COVID Norms and Business Shifts 27:45 Kids Need Space to Share 29:19 Common Core Patience Lesson 32:33 Work From Home and Kids Perception 34:41 Hard Is Relative for Generations 36:34 Grinding for Opportunity 41:27 Information Age Overload 44:14 Neutral Parenting Closing #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonshop.store Follow James: https://instagram.com/jeyblac Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.

Autism Is A Superpower | Daycare Abuse to Autism Advocacy | Ep 222 | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. From Daycare Abuse to Autism Advocacy: Will Adams on Fatherhood, Purpose & The Village Network In this episode of The Dear Son Show, host D Johns sits down with neighbor and nonprofit founder Will Adams, Sr. to discuss fatherhood, identity, and purpose through the lens of raising a son with autism. Will shares how his family discovered his youngest son’s needs after a daycare abuse case surfaced six months later through CPS, leading to a difficult diagnosis process and years of depression he largely masked while in corporate America. He explains the importance of early intervention, therapies, and ABA, and describes meaningful milestones like hearing his son say “Happy New Year” and progressing to full sentences. Will also talks about being laid off, ego and provision, building The Village Network to support fathers and families navigating autism, and challenging misconceptions while encouraging kindness and education about special needs. 00:00 Daycare Abuse Shock 01:21 Show Welcome Guest Intro 02:48 Life After Corporate Exit 04:00 Building The Village Network 06:42 Layoff Ego And Purpose 13:30 Kids Notice The Changes 16:20 How Autism Was Discovered 19:58 Diagnosis Depression And Masking 21:50 Early Intervention And ABA 25:08 Accepting A New Fatherhood 28:33 Learning Love And Communication 30:26 First Words Moment 32:19 Milestones Worth Celebrating 33:42 Family Shift and Legacy 35:52 Autism Misconceptions 38:28 Advocacy as a Black Dad 40:24 Dad Linkups Safe Space 42:28 Authenticity Over Clout 44:23 Called to the Work 51:33 Grace and Fear of Success 58:19 Fatherhood Without a Dad 01:01:03 Where to Find The Village 01:01:45 Final Message Be Kind #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonshop.store Follow Will: https://instagram.com/thavillagepodcast https://instagram.com/bigsir_84 Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.

Don't Let Anyone Disqualify You | Ep 221 | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. Dear Son: Don’t Get Your Qualifications Disqualified On The Dear Son Show, hosts Jey Blac and D Johns discuss how people can “disqualify” themselves despite being qualified—through pride, distractions, emotional reactions, or poor decisions. They reflect on fatherhood challenges like knowing when to let sons learn lessons the hard way, recognizing different expressions of focus, and helping children seek support such as tutors or therapy without making it about parental failure. The conversation covers owning outcomes and opportunity cost, finding mentors, staying consistent when consequences from the past surface, and not letting one negative comment outweigh broader impact. They also share workplace lessons about power, courtesy, and long-term cycles of authority, plus a personal story about wasting time over a $25 tire plug as a reminder to pause before acting on frustration. 00:00 Let Them Learn Lessons 01:10 Welcome to Dear Son 01:33 Fall Check In and Community 02:26 Making Space for Priorities 03:57 Qualifications Disqualified 05:49 Don’t Let Doubt In 09:36 Distractions After Graduation 13:44 Pushing Without Controlling 17:00 Asking for Help Matters 20:27 Own Your Outcome 21:55 Mentors for Young Men 24:14 When You Need New Tools 26:41 Learning Through Deficiency 28:04 Understanding Depression Together 28:56 Ego and Asking for Help 29:41 Stop Justifying Relapse 34:05 Consequences Lag Lesson 34:45 Money Habits and Lifestyle Creep 38:48 Gatekeepers and Compassion 43:09 Seize Teachable Moments 46:04 Power Leapfrog and Humility 48:53 Yesterday Today Tomorrow Balance 50:41 Tire Shop Value Lesson 54:45 Final Fatherhood Takeaways #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonshop.store Follow James: https://instagram.com/jeyblac Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.

I Asked My Dad the Toughest Questions | Ep 4 Remastered | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. A Father-Son Conversation on Legacy, Loss, and Breaking Cycles | Dear Son Network (Ep. 4 – 5-Year Anniversary) D Johns re-releases and remasters his first unscripted podcast conversation with his father, Leonard Johns, for the show’s five-year anniversary. Leonard reflects on growing up in a stable two-parent home, his father’s early death at 46, and how a largely nonverbal, hardworking dad shaped his own parenting style. They discuss fond memories of his father’s carpentry, the pain of returning from Vietnam to face family loss, guilt and unprocessed grief, and how those experiences influenced Leonard’s distance, discipline, and later self-reflection—especially after a prostate cancer diagnosis that refocused him on legacy and family. The two address misunderstandings from D.’s childhood, generational differences, marriage and affection models, and the purpose of the platform: clarifying, healing, and ending negative cycles.

From DUIs to Redemption: Steve Anderson on Addiction, Prison, Fatherhood & Faith | Dear Son Show Steve Anderson joins D Johns on The Dear Son Show to share how alcohol-fueled choices led to multiple DUIs, fighting, a felony DUI with great bodily injury, and eventually a third DUI that sent him to prison for a year and a half.

Is It Racist or Just Wrong? Teaching Our Sons How to Respond Without Losing Control | 219 Dear Son,
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. Is It Racist or Just Wrong? Teaching Our Sons How to Respond Without Losing Control | Dear Son Show On the Dear Son Show, hosts D Johns and Jey Blac discuss the theme “it’s not right, but it’s okay,” sparked by an incident where D. Johns’ son, working in customer service, was loudly accused by an older white customer of miscounting change despite doing the right thing. They use the moment to talk about reacting appropriately, de-escalating to achieve the best outcome, and how being right differs from facilitating the right outcome. The conversation expands to parenting Black sons in a tense 2026 climate, when and how to discuss racism and discrimination without projecting paranoia, and how past experiences shape the “lens” parents pass to children. They also address misinformation, social media groupthink, election-cycle polarization, and the long-term consequences of public reactions and opinions. 00:00 Is It Racist Or Wrong 02:03 Show Intro And Hosts 02:31 Football Banter 03:31 Housekeeping And Merch 05:12 Topic Not Right But Okay 06:12 Son’s Customer Incident 07:53 Reactions And Outcomes 11:31 Talking Race With Kids 14:15 Generational Lens And Bias 19:17 History Control And Records 21:14 Growing Up In Shreveport 24:23 Projecting Fear Onto Kids 27:21 Neighborhoods Change Over Time 28:20 Property Decline Cycle 28:58 Gentrification Versus Progress 30:06 Teaching Street Awareness 33:40 Workplace Bias Lessons 36:37 Raising Kids With Context 39:47 Humanity Over Status 43:06 Internet Groupthink Dangers 48:44 Think Before You Post 53:29 Closing Advice and Wrap #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonshop.store Follow James: https://instagram.com/jeyblac Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.

I Worked for this Smile | Protecting the Unprotected | Ep 218 | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. John Lewis on Childhood Trauma, Identity in Christ, and Becoming the Father His Son Needs | Dear Son Show On the Dear Son Show, host D Johns talks with Jon Lewis about growing up in Pleasant Grove, his parents’ divorce around age 12, and being told he was “the man of the house,” which led to pressure to perform, resentment, and years of carrying responsibility for his mother and brother. John shares experiences of child abuse and being molested while protecting his brother from a neighbor, and how his father’s reaction left him feeling unprotected. He describes learning his worth beyond providing, seeking affirmation in relationships, pursuing therapy and coaching, and having difficult but healing conversations with his mother and later his father, who apologized and shared his own fatherlessness. John recounts years of nonstop crises, including a gun being pointed at him, a legal case, and a head injury causing cognitive deficits, and explains how faith and community helped him cope. He discusses how these lessons shape his relationship with his son and highlights his journal, “When God Calls You by Name,” about men’s identity in a biblical framework, available via @justjohnlewis. 00:00 Childhood Trauma Revealed 01:11 Welcome to Dear Son 01:44 Fighting for a Smile 02:04 Family Life Updates 03:40 Where You From Dallas 05:11 Parents Divorce Fallout 09:07 Man of the House Pressure 13:14 Resentment and Rejection 15:38 Healing Talk With Dad 17:43 Learning Self Worth 20:10 Therapy and Mom Talks 23:21 Molestation and No Protection 25:01 Protector Identity and Aggression 26:20 Living for Me After COVID 27:44 Love and Brain Cancer 28:59 Blended Family Commitment 30:33 Identity After Loss 32:22 Life Event After Event 33:15 Gunpoint Hotel Incident 36:11 Injury And Recovery 36:43 Community Over Isolation 41:00 Faith Becomes Real 45:03 Fatherhood With Honesty 48:58 What I Wish Dad Said 51:36 Book On Men's Identity 54:26 Where To Find The Book 54:48 Final Thanks And Outro #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonshop.store Follow Jon: https://instagram.com/justjonlewis Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.
