“Who’s going to take my dad’s place?” A dad-shaped hole in a child’s life is a chasm of uncertainty. A Father’s Day without a father can evoke feelings of abandonment, loss, and anger. It also can motivate a man to give his children what he never had: a father who is active and present.  If you did not have a present father growing up, how has this affected your approach to life? Bitter or better? Victim or victor? Even men who seem on top of the world can have an underlying “daddy gap” that festers and rears its ugly head from time to time. Healing begins with forgiveness and turning the circumstance over to God for good. Finding other good men to invest in you is helpful. A mentor goes a long way in providing what was missed.  In Season 1 Episode 2 of Beyond The Stethoscope, Dr. Unathi Makiwane is our guest and has functional solutions to share about healing from the father wound.  Dr. Unati Makiwane is a Family Physician with over 15 years of experience and a Certified Transformation Life Coach focusing on Men's Health and Boy Children's Mental Health. She completed her medical training at the former University of Transkei, now called Walter Sisulu University in South Africa. She is currently pursuing her MBA in Business and Corporate Communications. She immigrated from South Africa to Canada in 2010. She is the Founder and the Medical Director of United Medical Clinic and Dr. M Health Corner in Calgary, Canada.  Outside her clinical practice, she is a public speaker, involved in the community, doing empowering mental health projects with Immigrant Services Calgary, Schools, and other private Organizations. She's the President and a Co-Host of "Black Mental Health Matters". She is quite active on LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook &amp; IG. Dr. Unati is the first Black Female Physician in Canada to host a Men's Health Talk Show which runs once a week where she interacts with a global community of Men seeking to lead healthy lives mentally, physically &amp; spiritually. She recently launched Dr. M Health Corner Talk Show streaming live to LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube. She brings Health Care Thought Leaders to discourse on their various expertise.

How to heal from the Pain of an Absent or Emotionally Distant Father

The world has many popular brands but only a select few have the magnetic power of irresistibility. Irresistible brands have a power that goes beyond being recognizable and popular. When faced with a choice in their category, consumers are magnetically drawn to them, unable and unwilling to see any alternative. The power these brands exert today makes their success appear almost magical, but the fact is that they have very specific characteristics that make them irresistible brands. They have been deliberately designed and carefully managed over time to exert such a powerful pull. Joining us in our debut episode is Elle Elle Pierson, a former nurse and now a leading expert in Healthcare Brand Experience. Elle helps Healthcare Brands develop a strong understanding of what they want to be known for and share their greatness with their patients, stakeholders, and the community at large. Elle is a Houston Texas resident and shares timeless nuggets with our South African healthcare community. Join in and learn more about her and what she has to say.
