This episode is one of the most powerful and emotional conversations we’ve ever shared.
On October 10th, my dad was in a horrific accident that left him fighting for his life multiple surgeries, internal bleeding, intubation, sedation, and moments where we didn’t know if he would survive. For hours, he was missing. No calls. No updates. No answers. Just fear.

In this raw and unfiltered episode, we sit down for the first time to talk through everything what really happened that day, what he remembers while sedated, the moment he almost gave up, and the mindset that brought him back from the edge.

In this raw and personal episode, Alyssa shares the story of the day everything changed when her father, co-host Edward Darty, was rushed into the ICU after a life-threatening accident.

What followed was the hardest week of her life: hospital updates, fear, confusion, advocating for her dad, supporting her family, and trying to hold herself together while everything was falling apart.

This episode is about love, vulnerability, and what it truly means to show up for your family when life hits without warning. It’s a reminder to cherish the people you love, to prepare for the unexpected, and to take care of yourself even when you feel like you can’t.

If you or someone you love has ever gone through a medical emergency, a crisis, or a moment that changes your entire world, you’re not alone.

Hold your loved ones tighter today.

In this powerful episode of Fatherhood Voices, Edward sits down with his longtime brother and friend, Jose Bonilla. From growing up with scarcity and the impact it had on his mindset, to losing 75 pounds and quitting cigarettes cold turkey, Jose shares his raw journey of healing, fatherhood, and personal growth.

Together they unpack how childhood memories shape the way we parent, why the energy we bring into our homes matters more than words, and how traditions like father–child dates can rebuild trust and connection. Jose also opens up about his creative side as a hip-hop artist, his real estate career, and how plant medicine shifted everything for his marriage and family.

If you’ve ever struggled with being present, breaking generational cycles, or wondering what legacy you’re leaving behind, this episode will give you both practical wisdom and deep inspiration.
