We sit down with Mick Wienholt to talk about fatherhood that begins with loss. Mick and his wife lost their firstborn son, Luke, at full term. What followed wasn’t a clean or simple healing process. It was grief, questions, anger, surrender… and eventually, transformation. In this conversation, we talk about: • What it feels like to become a dad and lose your child in the same moment • How grief reshapes your identity as a man and husband • The difference between moving on and moving forward • How to support someone walking through loss • And how Mick carries Luke into his family today This isn’t about fixing grief. It’s about learning to live with it… and who you become because of it.","meta_description":"This episode is different. We sit down with Mick Wienholt to talk about fatherhood that begins with loss.
