Difficult Conversations And Elevating Your Emotions With Vincent Ellis White

In this Episode of Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd, I will be talking to Vincent Ellis White about how he elevates his emotions when having difficult conversations. Vincent is a social worker, father and entrepreneur. Vincent has been having difficult conversations in the community since 2021. Vincent provides a safe space, open dialogue and community engagement when having conversations that challenge ways of thinking, feeling and believing. Vincent has been a voice for absentee fathers, broken homes and family fragmentation. Vincent wrote a book about discovering who his real father was and the father he thought was his biological dad.


Vincent and I will talk about his struggles as a father, a man, an influencer in the community when having difficult conversations. Vincent and I will talk about the emotional elevator he was on learning that the man he called dad was not his dad and how he found out who his real father was. Vincent will talk about how he wrote a book, which became a stage play and how that helped him cope with these emotions. Vincent and I will also talk about the struggles he faced fighting for custody of his own son and what techniques he used to elevate his emotions during this process.


This episode will be a powerful one for men who struggle with finding the ways to cope with their emotions and what techniques men can use to elevate their emotions while being challenged in fatherhood and having difficult conversations.
