Reena loves a story, and she‘s fascinated by the people behind them. She loves to bring stories to life. Her appetite for storytelling has taken her from the Jerry Springer Show to the legal drama of the courtroom. From influential players to reality stars, nothing is censored here. Reena interviews people whose stories haven‘t been told, at least not through her unique lens, and then gets daddy‘s advice afterward like a good daughter does. Whether you have daddy issues or a father who‘s inspired your path, you will be able to tap into my daddy‘s wisdom, wit, and humor at the end of every episode. My daddy has been a guiding light my whole life and there‘s not much he doesn‘t know, as an entrepreneur for forty-plus years, a husband, a loyal son, and my number one supporter. He has learned lots of life lessons along the way and is here to share them with you. It‘s time to reminisce and reflect on the conversations you‘d like to have with your daddy and learn from mine. Come share in some good old-fashioned family bonding and help us up our wisdom rating. There is wisdom from four generations and I’m addressing what happens from childhood to adulthood!

In this deeply moving episode of the Better Call Daddy podcast, host Reena Friedman Watts welcomes Amy D. Post, a true warrior who has faced unimaginable challenges and emerged with a powerful message of resilience and hope.
Amy shares her story of growing up with a brother who struggled with addiction, navigating a strained family dynamic, and her relentless pursuit of help and understanding.
The conversation dives into the importance of asking for help and how Amy's upbringing shaped her perspective on support and advocacy. She recounts her journey through the medical system as a mother to a daughter diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, detailing the battles she fought to advocate for her child's health and well-being.
Amy's candid reflections on guilt, self-care, and the transformative power of community highlight the importance of being present and living authentically.
Reena's dad, Wayne, joins the discussion, offering his insights on the beauty of intergenerational relationships and the importance of sharing stories.
Together, they explore the significance of vulnerability, the necessity of open dialogue, and the strength found in connection.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, and that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Join us for an inspiring conversation that encourages listeners to embrace their journeys and advocate for themselves and others.
