Bo-When the Dream Changes, But the Love Doesn’t.
Sunday, 15 February, 2026
What happens to a man when fatherhood doesn’t look anything like he imagined?In this powerful episode, I sit down with Bo, a 33-year-old dad from Kansas City who has spent the last seven years living on high alert. His son Elgin suffered a severe brain injury at birth and requires 24-hour care. Every day, Bo watches oxygen levels. Every night, he sleeps beside a monitor that could change everything in a second, keeping in mind this is after tragically losing his daughter 1 year before Elgin was born. But this isn’t just a story about special needs parenting, it’s more than that. It’s a story about identity. About losing a child and still choosing to love again. About radical acceptance when life doesn’t bend. About loneliness, exhaustion, fear — and the quiet, relentless decision to stay in the ring and fight Bo speaks with brutal honesty about what it costs to keep showing up… and why he refuses to walk away from the ring.There are times when I feel we forget the mic is on and Bo says ‘I need him more than he needs me’. It felt like something went off for me, he was right and I think so many parents would think the same, but not say out loud… such a brave dad on all levels. This episode is for any dad who has ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or stretched to his limits. It’s about resilience, perspective, and the kind of strength that doesn’t shout — it just stays.Check out Bo’s social media and get into how he does life… it’s real unfiltered dad journeys. https://youtube.com/@theimaginarydad?si=aULOBUacr8jJ02ONhttps://www.tiktok.com/@theimaginarydadproject?_r=1&_t=ZS-93vvn5dMlYuhttps://linktr.ee/theimaginarydadproject?utm_source=linktree_profile_share
