An indoctrinated Catholic father and his firstborn lesbian daughter sit down to discuss topics that often polarize the best of us, while offering living proof that seeing things differently doesn't have to result in division. Daughter-Father Dance is a nuanced, thought-provoking and sometimes hilarious conversation demonstrating how love wins despite our differences—and sometimes because of them. Rather than a third person account of my dad as you've witnessed in my Cathuddhist Buddhatholic blog (where most of his actions cause me to furrow my brow in utter bewilderment) you get to experience firsthand the man who is both my hero and the person who can push my buttons like no other. Join me and my dad for Daughter-Father Dance where we will demonstrate that division is optional—and maybe even prove that it’s actually an illusion.
If you've been waiting for Season 2 to hear more from me and Dad, wait no longer. However, you have to go to another show to find us. Join us over on MIND CHALK, another show I host where we talk about just about everything, but focus on reframing 'thought' in an interesting way. You don't want to miss it—it's fun and entertaining, and because Dad and I have missed you! Come join me and dad over on the new podcast, Mind Chalk. Apple Podcasts - MIND CHALK Spotify - MIND CHALK

Episode 15—COVID Christmas Farewell
Well, we couldn't outrun the virus that we've thus far kept at bay. Dad and I bid you farewell until later next year when we return for Season Two. I'll be posting the long promised episodes we temporarily archived, and I'll be adding some "IN THE MEANTIME" fun until Dad and I return together in the future.

Episode 14—The Final Countdown
Today, Dad and I reflect on what it has meant to us to do this project together. Dad is coming off of 15 days of illness—ending with pneumonia. He holds up pretty well in this week's episode, with the exception of a couple of times that leave me wondering if he still has a fever. Come join me and dad over on the new podcast, Mind Chalk.

Episode 13—Winding Down
Dad and I, despite the fact that he is ill with a flu bug, begin to discuss how we feel about this experiment we are getting ready to sunset at the end of December—the first season anyway. Come join me and dad over on the new podcast, Mind Chalk. Apple Podcasts - MIND CHALK Spotify - MIND CHALK

Episode 12—The Unstoppable Force
Today's episode begins to reveal something that hasn't yet fully taken form. I talk about it the best I can. Today is brief, and the news that comes with it swift. Sometimes, there is an unstoppable force requiring that we move out of the way—it's unstoppable for God's sake—and lean gently into the flow of its wake. Today is such a day.

Episode 11—Thanksgiving—the Awkward Holiday
Dad and I discuss how, for some families, Thanksgiving is fraught with anxiety and dread. We choose sides about wholeheartedly trusting historic sources vs. questioning them. And we discuss—in uncontrollable belly-laughter—Thanksgivings of old. Oh, and my dad uses the “f-word” in hilarious fashion. This conversation is like Thanksgiving itself; a corneacopia of different flavors that leave me satisfyingly full. Come join me and dad over on the new podcast, Mind Chalk. Apple Podcasts - MI...

Episode 10—Actions Speak Louder
Dad and I discuss the power of action—and, guess what?! Besides a single (and very short) account of one of Dad's confessions to Fr. Miller, he doesn't bring religion up once. Alle—freakin—luia.

Episode 9— Be Not Afraid
Dad and I disagree about what is at the root of all "evil." I bet you can imagine what he believes is orchestrating all the bad in the world—but you may be surprised at what I assert to make my point about what I believe fuels it.

Episode 8—Sweet Land of Liberty
Dad and I discuss the ever polarized and politicized issue of immigration. We tackle, in our own way, how to balance being our "brother's keeper" with following the rules. It's tricky, but insights unfold and answers typically reveal themselves when we are willing to talk about the difficult issues. Come join me and dad over on the new podcast, Mind Chalk.

Episode 7—The Origin of Choice
Today, Dad and I discuss one of the most divisive topics since the early 1970's. Dad draws a clear line about where he stands, and I ask listeners to entertain a notion that I believe has the power to potentially dissolve the opposing views within this war-torn argument.

Episode 6—The 'Hail Mary' Pass
I generally think I've heard it all when it comes to Dad discussing anything about his faith or the history of the Catholic Church—but today he lays one on me that has me already plotting the course of the Goddess's Uprising.

Episode 3— Lines In the Sand
We all hold tightly to things in which we wholeheartedly believe. But what is the cost of hanging onto a belief with all of one's might?

Episode 2—The Elephant In the Room
Differences not resulting in division can be most challenging when Dad and I attempt to navigate the subject of this week's show. Though difficult, I think this episode is an important one. Come join me and dad over on the new podcast, Mind Chalk. Apple Podcasts - MIND CHALK Spotify - MIND CHALK

TRAILER
This podcast is not about Covid-19 (thank God). This podcast is also not about religion nor politics. This podcast is about a daughter and her dad demonstrating that different (and sometimes seemingly divisive) perspectives don't have to create division. Our conversations are at times heated, at other times poignant, yet most often our show is a hilarious and fun perspective on uncomfortable conversations.
