 Building a strong, meaningful connection with your daughter doesn't come with a manual—a truth at the heart of every episode of the Dad and Daughter Connection podcast. In a recent interview, Dr. Christopher Lewis sits down with David Andrews, Lansing’s beloved news anchor and a proud father of three daughters, to dive into the joys and challenges of being a dad. This heartwarming episode is packed with both relatable moments and insightful advice for dads at any stage of their parenting journey. David openly shares that fatherhood, especially to three daughters with very different personalities, has been “a crash course” in love, patience, and adaptability. Yet, through each unique relationship, a single lesson rings true: being present and intentional is what builds lasting bonds. Intentional Connection A recurring theme of the conversation is the power of simply being there. David recounts the choice he and his wife made to adjust their work schedules, ensuring one parent was always home. By prioritizing presence, not perfection, David built trust and closeness with each daughter. From doing Austin’s hair in the mornings to spontaneous fishing trips with Carson as an adult, these moments weren’t just about activities—they were about making memories and fostering meaningful conversations. Guidance and Independence David is honest about the tricky balance between guiding your kids and letting them carve their own paths. He emphasizes the importance of supporting unique dreams—even when they take unexpected turns, like his daughter transitioning from tattoo artist to hair colorist, or another working to eradicate mosquito-borne diseases. His approach? Offer guidance, but let them discover their true passions, leaning on your own life experiences for wisdom without controlling their choices. Listening and Traditions The essence of feeling ‘valued and heard’ is simple: listen more, lecture less. David’s philosophy on fatherhood centers on being a reliable sounding board—letting his daughters express themselves openly, knowing he’ll respond with empathy (not a sermon). He also highlights the value of family traditions, from regular birthday dinners to playful social media photoshoots, which have evolved into cherished rituals that unite his family. Taking Life Lightly With humor as a family glue, David reminds dads: don’t take life too seriously. Whether through social media antics or cheering for the Green Bay Packers together, laughter keeps relationships strong and reminds everyone that joy is found in the journey, not just the destination. Ready for More? If you’re eager for practical wisdom and real-world stories about raising strong, independent daughters, this episode with David Andrews is a must-listen. Tune in to the Dad and Daughter Connection podcast—because every dad deserves to feel seen, supported, and inspired. TRANSCRIPT Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:00:02]: Welcome to the dad and Daughter Connection, the podcast for dads who want to build stronger bonds and raise confident, independent daughters.

In every episode, we'll bring you conversations that inspire, challenge, and equip you to show up as the dad your daughter needs.

I am so excited that you're here today as we are delving back into that relationship that you're trying to build with your daughter. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:01:02]: It is such an important relationship, and every week I love that you are here to be able to talk about that, but also to learn and to grow from that. Because none of us walk into fatherhood with a manual about how to be the dad that we want to be. We learned it along the way. We trip, we fall, we make mistakes as well. And that's why every week, I love being able to bring you different people with different experiences and be able to offer you some sneak peeks into their experiences in raising daughters so that you can learn from them. Today we got another great guest with us. David Andrews is with us today. And David is a news reporter, a anchor, someone that's been in the Lansing news market for many years. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:01:49]: He's been at WIOX since the late 90s and even before that was at Channel 6 in Lansing. So he's been in the news agency for a long time.
