Where can you listen?

I'm Robert. I lost my dad at 15 and my mom at 26. And somewhere in between all of it, I had to figure out how to keep building a life when the people who shaped it were gone.

That's what Unparented is about.

Not the funeral. Not the dramatic breakdown. The Tuesday afternoon when you reach for your phone to call them and then remember. The milestones they'll never see. The weird, slow ways loss rewires you when nobody's watching.

I talk with people who are living this — people who've lost a parent and kept going anyway. Therapists, grief counselors, entrepreneurs, parents, regular people carrying something heavy and building something real at the same time.

No scripts. No tidy endings. Just honest conversation about grief, growth, and what it actually means to be unparented.

If you've lost a parent — or you love someone who has — you're in the right place.
