Meet My Dad, Jim Forward: the "OG Forward" as me and my sisters call him. My best friend, confidant, encourager, spiritual buddy and the one who has helped guide me in every major life decision.
Together in this conversation, we navigate and discuss my diagnosis, and the unique way that my Dad decided to show up and support me while navigating the healing process. We also talk about the Rosicrucians, a school he found at a pivotal point in his life where he was searching for something more, and this truly changed his life. We discuss why it's important to master our mental health, and how it is directly connected to our physical body and spirit, navigating challenging times in life, how music has been an influential piece of both of our lives and can help the healing process, and so much more.
This is such a special conversation for me, as I've always found my Dad to be someone who has had eternal wisdom to share, and now he's sharing not just with me, but with all of you.
My Dad has made such a profound influence on my life in many ways. Not only has he helped me navigate every chapter of life, but he's been an entrepreneur my entire life, the Founder of Forward Branding & Identity, a branding and packaging firm that inspired creativity in all of us girls at a young age to find our own creative outlets and think outside the box. He's a problem solver, and someone who always looks at life from a slightly unique perspective. He has continued his innovative vision now developing a platform called Behold, a global platform that brings together artist and art lovers, and will be something that we will discuss in a future episode.
Jim is one of the coolest guys I know, "Curious Jim" as I call him- always being inspired by the world around him, figuring out ways to make things work better, and also reminding us all to never lose that inner child and to play and have fun. A young-at-heart guy, he is a loving husband, awesome father to me and my two sisters, and a fun-loving "Papa Jim" to his grandkids.
I am releasing this episode right before Father's Day weekend- wishing all of the Dads and father figures out there a very Happy Father's Day, and the biggest shoutout to JIm- my number one guy, always, all ways. Love you forever Dad! What a blessing to have this episode and conversation as a keepsake. Thank you. You're the best!
