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!

"What would it take for you to feel confident in the work that you're doing?"
In this long overdue episode of the Better Call Daddy podcast, host Reena Friedman Watts reunites with her old friend Jaime Cohen for a candid discussion that transcends the ordinary.
Jaime, a passionate communicator and advocate, opens up about her journey through the complexities of identity, trauma, and the search for connection in an increasingly polarized world.
As they dive into the nuances of being neurodivergent, Jaime shares her experiences with bullying and the impact of anti-Semitism throughout her life.
She reflects on the transformative power of community, recounting how her time at a summer camp in Wisconsin helped her embrace her true self in a world that often felt hostile.
The conversation takes a poignant turn as they explore the recent events surrounding October 7th, a day that shook Jaime to her core, leading her to reassess her relationships and the importance of empathy in times of crisis.
Reena and Jaime also discuss the significance of open dialogue, highlighting the need for curiosity and understanding in conversations about differing perspectives. Jaime emphasizes the value of vulnerability and the strength that comes from sharing one's story, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own journeys and the legacies they wish to create.
With a sprinkle of humor and heartfelt insights, this episode is a beautiful reminder that true connection lies in our shared humanity, regardless of the labels we carry.
