Closure? Forgiveness? Resolution. A story is told, a funeral is thrown, and we get our final scene with Jan Character. Follow along at @untitleddadproject. Tell us your experience of the Finale at [email protected].   Untitled Dad Project is a Spoke Media original.

One more minisode to prepare us for the FINALE! Jan interviewed death educator and somatic psychotherapist Jeanne Denney years ago to get a more New Age perspective on grieving practices for her Third Act Breakthrough. In hindsight, Jeanne instead brought into focus the themes that’ve been at play in the story since the beginning. Clarity, rage, rejection, and legitimacy prepare us for our final resolution with Jan Character.  Follow along at @untitleddadproject!

Before facing her resolution, Jan checks back in with a special guest: Mom Character. Mom Character joined Jan in-studio after listening to 1A and 1B before they were released. Together, they discuss why it was hard to talk about the hard things, revisit swallowed-back questions, and explore what it means to have your own story. Follow along at @untitleddadproject!

There comes a moment when you realize you’ll never be the same. Carson and Janielle take inventory of all the potential third act breakthroughs for this story: casserole drop-offs, smoking ceremonies, full-circles, and beauty anyway.

So many potential threads ended up on the cutting room floor, but one metaphor in particular snuck its way back into the story: cats. This week we come full-circle with Dad’s cat, Cat’s cat, and every abandoned kitten ever. If you’re compelled to help the feline race, consider sponsoring a family of stray kittens in medical need, currently fostered by our very own Rat Rios.   Follow along at @untitleddadproject, or email us at [email protected]!   Untitled Dad Project is a Spoke Media original.
