Reena Friedman Watts

Reena loves a story, and she‘s fascinated by the people behind them. She loves to bring stories to life.

Whether you have daddy issues or a father who‘s inspired your path, you will be able to tap into my daddy‘s wisdom, wit, and humor at the end of every episode. My daddy has been a guiding light my whole life and there‘s not much he doesn‘t know, as an entrepreneur for forty-plus years, a husband, a loyal son, and my number one supporter. He has learned lots of life lessons along the way and is here to share them with you. It‘s time to reminisce and reflect on the conversations you‘d like to have with your daddy and learn from mine. Come share in some good old-fashioned family bonding and help us up our wisdom rating. There is wisdom from four generations and I’m addressing what happens from childhood to adulthood!

402. The Fatherhood Challenge: Jonathan Guerrero, Heavenly Guidance and Earthly Battles

"Sometimes we need to check ourselves so we don't fall into the black hole or oblivion. We can let love and light in." In today's episode of Better Call Daddy, Reena Friedman Watts welcomes Jonathan Guerrero from the Fatherhood Challenge to discuss the profound journey of fatherhood, spirituality, and personal growth. Why are we here? Who are we meant to serve? Jonathan shares his transformative experiences, emphasizing the importance of a father’s role in a child's life and the spiritual connection that guides him. "An unstable dad is a perfect storm seeking fulfillment everywhere because he doesn't know who he is or his purpose." "You are created intentionally, deliberately, and you are created for a purpose." "Every man needs to have that need filled. That's normal." "It's like that check engine light in your car. It just won't turn off." "Family is the biggest blessing, but what about family that you have a hard time communicating with or understanding?" We dive into Jonathan's journey of self-discovery, his struggles with identity and purpose, and the pivotal moments that led him back to his faith. He candidly shares his challenges with spiritual deception and the powerful encounter with God that reshaped his life. Jonathan's story is a testament to the strength of faith, the importance of forgiveness, and the enduring impact of a father’s love. Join Reena and Jonathan for a heartfelt discussion on the significance of spiritual and paternal connections, the challenges of fatherhood, and the legacy we leave for future generations.

400. Hunter Biden's Love Affair Lunden Roberts Speaks Out for Her Daughter To Have A Father

"The real luxury in life is becoming a mother. That's the reward." "You can go against the most powerful people in the world, just stand 10 toes down and fight." "I forgive him and I am willing to give all the grace in the world to him." "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." In episode 400 of the Better Call Daddy Reena Friedman Watts sits down with Lunden Roberts whose journey through love, motherhood, and resilience is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. She opens up about her deeply personal memoir, written as a gift for her daughter, Navy, to understand the complexities of her relationship with Hunter Biden. The conversation delves into the emotional depths of her experiences, from falling in love to facing the challenges of raising her daughter amidst public scrutiny. She candidly discusses the raw emotions captured in her book, including her struggles with mental health and the profound impact of her father, a prominent figure in the hunting industry, on her life. Her father's influence taught her empathy and integrity, values she hopes to pass on to her daughter. The episode also explores her vibrant past, from a small-town upbringing to the culture shock of moving to Washington D.C., and how these experiences shaped her perspective on life. As a mother, she shares her unwavering commitment to her daughter's well-being, navigating the complexities of co-parenting with someone in the public eye. Despite the challenges, she remains hopeful for a future where her daughter can forge a meaningful relationship with her father. Her story is a testament to the power of forgiveness, faith, and the enduring strength of a mother's love. Join Reena and Lunden Roberts for an intimate and thought-provoking discussion on resilience, family, and the pursuit of truth. This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of sharing one's story and the impact it can have on future generations. Lunden Roberts is a mother, author, and financial officer from Batesville, AR. Her all-star basketball career culminated at Arkansas State University, where she was a McDonalds All-American Nominee shooting guard and studied criminal justice and psychology. Roberts went on to Washington, D.C. for the most prestigious CSI training in the country, where she met and began a relationship with Hunter Biden. She served as Biden’s executive assistant at Rosemont Seneca and other business entities, and now serves as the financial controller for her family-owned business, Rob Roberts Custom Gunworks. She is the mother of Navy, President Biden’s seventh grandchild, she is in the process of launching a new fashion line, and serves as an advocate for women in unplanned pregnancies. (00:00) You've done some big interviews. It's been nerve wracking (00:40) Do you feel like you were harsh enough in Hunter Biden book (03:14) You say in the book that you. You are your father's daughter (07:20) The reward of being a mother is greater than any of the luxuries (10:20) Do you think that's though, like, your claim to fame now (14:49) Both of my phones mysteriously crashed when I found out I was pregnant (17:23) Lunden says her parents have reservations about reading the book (23:29) That is a tremendous battle to fight. It's incredible. I wouldn't even know who would know how to navigate that (28:42) Lunden says he hasn't reached out to his daughter since the book (32:49) Most of those peers I would never have wanted to do around children (33:12) It was hard to write about Hunter's addiction (36:58) Lunden says her daughter saw Donald Trump on TV months ago (45:23) The only thing I wanted from the paternity suit was accountability (52:31) How many times did you have to edit this book? (57:59) Dad almost stepped on baby cotton mouths or copperheads one time (58:43) What was it like moving back home and kind of like needing your parents again (59:34) There's nothing greater than having a child and watching your parents be grandparents (01:00:32) Do you hope that your daughter's relationship with Hunter will flourish (01:05:12) I let Hunter know that it had happened. And Hunter immediately scheduled, like, can we. Can I zoom her (01:07:45) It sounds like you have a good relationship with your own father Buy Lunden's book <a href='https://a.co/d/3ZWzuiL'>https://a.co/d/3ZWzuiL</a> Thank you <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-halberstam-28923628b/'>Ben Halberstam</a> for the mics Yeti equivalent USB Mic: <a href='https://www.movophoto.com/products/um700-usb-mic-adjustable-polar-patterns?sca_ref=7164647.OPLapDs7O7T2c2'>https://www.movophoto.com/products/um700-usb-mic-adjustable-polar-patterns?sca_ref=7164647.OPLapDs7O7T2c2</a> Mid level Dynamic Podcast Mic (Rode PodMic equivalent): <a href='https://www.movophoto.com/products/cast-mic-xlr?sca_ref=7164647.OPLapDs7O7T2c2'>https://www.movophoto.com/products/cast-mic-xlr?sca_ref=7164647.OPLapDs7O7T2c2</a> USB/XLR Dynamic Podcast Mic with Preamp (Shure MV7+ equivalent): <a href='https://www.movophoto.com/products/dynamic-xlr-microphone?sca_ref=7164647.OPLapDs7O7T2c2'>https://www.movophoto.com/products/dynamic-xlr-microphone?sca_ref=7164647.OPLapDs7O7T2c2</a> Additional links for complete podcasting bundles: <a href='https://www.movophoto.com/products/complete-podcasting-kit-movo-mdx-1-castmic-asm5-tmc3-2-pack?sca_ref=7164647.OPLapDs7O7T2c2'>https://www.movophoto.com/products/complete-podcasting-kit-movo-mdx-1-castmic-asm5-tmc3-2-pack?sca_ref=7164647.OPLapDs7O7T2c2</a> <a href='https://www.movophoto.com/products/iphone-podcast-bundle?sca_ref=7164647.OPLapDs7O7T2c2'>https://www.movophoto.com/products/iphone-podcast-bundle?sca_ref=7164647.OPLapDs7O7T2c2</a> Connect with Reena Friedman Watts: - Website: <a href='http://bettercalldaddy.com'>bettercalldaddy.com </a> - LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/reenafriedmanwatts/'>Reena Friedman Watts </a> - Twitter: <a href='http://twitter.com/reenareena'>@reenareena </a> - Instagram: <a href='http://instagram.com/reenafriedmanwatts'>@Reena Friedman Watts </a> - Instagram Podcast: <a href='http://instagram.com/bettercalldaddypodcast'>@bettercalldaddypodcast </a> We love hearing your <a href='http://ratethispodcast.com/bettercalldaddy'>feedback</a>.

395. The Calming Queen: Caroline Bass on Tulsi, Transformation and Torah

As Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, approaches, today's guest, Caroline Bass, reminds us that none of us are perfect. We're all a little broken, a little worn, a little pained. But we hold onto our past as we build anew. We want to refresh our possibilities. Take it step by step and do it with calm. Introducing the calming queen, Caroline Bass. Caroline shares her journey of breaking free midlife, overcoming fear, and taking small steps towards her dreams. She talks about her transition from corporate America to launching her own product, Queen Tulsi, and the challenges and triumphs along the way. Caroline emphasizes the importance of pushing through fear to find one's purpose and the significance of creating a balanced and calm environment, both at home and within oneself. Reena and Caroline discuss the power of small steps in achieving dreams, the importance of authenticity, and the role of natural remedies in managing stress. Caroline's story is a testament to resilience, growth, and the pursuit of a fulfilling life. Caroline Bass, founder of Queen Tulsi, developed this scientifically-backed herbal supplement to provide natural stress relief and mood balance. As a mom of three balancing a full-time job, Caroline struggled with anxiety, fatigue and feeling overwhelmed. She began formulating herbal blends to calm her nerves and soon shared them with friends and family, who loved the results and she realized she had something special on her hands. College students, friends, and family members all started asking for her supplement after noticing how well it helped with everything from managing anxiety to unwinding after a long day. To make her remedy accessible, she partnered with herbal experts to create Queen Tulsi, a carefully crafted unique blend that targets emotional stress, brain fog, hormonal mood swings, and inflammation in the body. She has since sold thousands of bottles of Queen Tulsi driven by word of mouth and her mission to bring this natural stress relief to the greater public so everyone can benefit from the power of these ancient herbs.
