Welcome to the Professional Step-Dad Podcast, a place where we share stories, strategies routines, and ideas for men just like you. Our mission is to help you answer one question and one question only; how can I be a better Step-Dad? Children are not born with manuals and the journey of fatherhood doesn’t come with a map. We learn from experiences whether they are good or bad. As a step-father of five, Franco Zavala, founder of The Professional Step-Dad, knows firsthand the difficult obstacles one must overcome in order to earn the respect and trust of a new family. Follow along as Franco breaks down his own personal journey as well as interviews fellow Step-Dads who are in the trenches, just like you. My reason and purpose for being a Step-Dad is to cultivate a powerful family dynamic centered around trust that, will withstand the test of time.
In this episode we delve into the transformative power of self-honesty. From confronting our fears to accepting our shortcomings, we discover how honesty with oneself leads to greater self-awareness, authenticity, and ultimately, a more meaningful life as a man, leader, and father!

In this episode of The Professional Step-Dad, we explore the importance of making peace with patience. Parenting can be a challenging journey, and it's natural to want things to happen quickly and efficiently. But as Step-Parents, it's important to remember that building relationships with your step-children takes time. Patience allows us to be present in the moment and to listen actively to what our step-children are saying. It also gives us the space to consider the best course of action before reacting to a situation. By making peace with patience, we can develop stronger, more meaningful bonds with our step-children and create a positive family environment. Enjoy.... Are you a Step-Parent who has questions?

It's important to always remember this one simple rule when stepping into a new family as a Step-Dad. You can't control what happened before you arrived so don't take it personal when negativity and resentment get thrown your way for no reason. It's not about you and it's more about them. It's about their inability to deal with their past so they bring it into the new relationship. Take a step back Step-Dad and focus on bettering yourself first so you don't make the same mistake.

Step-Dad's, there is power in asking how you are doing from your friends and family. The problem is that most men don't like to ask for help or ask for feedback because we can't get past our pride. Ask how you are doing. Find out about the things you can be doing better, so that you can become stronger as a Step-Dad. It's important to remember that ASKING does not mean your weak, it means you are STRONG! Enjoy Everyone... Are you a Step-Parent who has questions?
