About this episode

Two years after losing his wife Laura to cancer, Michael Allio did something no one expected - he went on 'The Bachelorette' to start living again. He sits down with Carl to talk about going on reality TV as a grieving single dad, raising their son James, getting judged for daring to move forward, getting sober, and how he slowly found love again on his own terms. A beautiful conversation about grief, fatherhood, and the courage to begin again before you feel ready. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
