In 2018, Vincent Fichot came home to an empty house in Tokyo, Japan. His wife, 3-year-old son and 11-month-old daughter had vanished. All he had done was suggest that he might want a divorce. He hasn't seen or heard from his family since, and every effort to contact or reunite with his family has been blocked by his wife, her lawyers, Japanese courts, the police, policymakers from Japan and even his own country of origin - France. This includes Emmanuel Macron, French President and Josep Borrell, Spanish politician serving as High Representative of the European Union.
With nowhere else to go, Vincent started a hunger strike in a desperate attempt to reunite with his kids. In this podcast, you will hear the extent a dad will go to reunite with his kids, the gross negligence of the Japanese courts on the rights of children to have both of their parents, and above all, this reality of child abduction when it comes to Japan.
The name You’re Double was inspired by the fact that children are made up of two parents, two families, two cultures, two backgrounds and this makes children who they are. This is what we believe makes children amazing – their double experiences, double cultures, and sometimes double languages. And this is why children deserve the love of both parents!

Our guest on Your Double is Ginger Gentile, Director & Producer of the Erasing Family documentary. Ginger is on a mission to save children from the trauma of high-conflict divorce. Her first film on this topic, ERASING DAD, was filmed in Argentina and resulted in joint-custody legislation being enacted. Her latest film, ERASING FAMILY, currently streaming on all major platforms, exposes the trauma children suffer when a loving parent is erased from their lives, a problem that affects 22 million families in the US alone. For this film she crowdfunded nearly half a million dollars and created a network of parents who went from victims to activists. Gentile was named an Architect of Change by Maria Shriver and has spoken at SXSW and appeared in the Atlantic Magazine, Washington Times, and on shows on the Bravo, ABC, CBS and NBC networks as well as numerous podcasts

In this episode of You're Double Podcast, We are speaking to the CEO of Fayr, Michael David Daniels. Fayr is a co-parenting app that allows co-parents to effortless communicate, create a shared calendar while keeping track of expenses. It also helps co-parents to prepare legal documents and much much more. In the first part with Michael, we talk a lot about the app and how it helps in reducing conflicts between co-parents. In the second part, we talk broader topics such as choosing the right partner, managing conflict with your children and co-parent, introducing new partner to your ex-spouse, and so much more.
Fayr was born out of two desires: to become a better co-parent, and to make the experience of co-parenting better.
After his separation, Michael found it a constant challenge to be the best, most present father he could be. The time he wanted to spend focused on his children was instead taken up by tedious documentation, scheduling and preparing for court.
Why wasn't there an alternative to this time consuming, anxiety producing way co-parents were forced interact?
Enter Fayr. Our app encompasses the whole range of co-parents needs - financial, documentation, geo pinpointing, scheduling, communication - for the entire time you're co-parenting.
What makes us different? At Fayr, it's not just about efficiency and ease (though we love those). We also help you create a better co-parenting experience by providing tools for: constructive communication, argument diffusion, and emotional support.
