Podcasts about fatherhood

Before, you could wing it. But now? Now that you have kids? Now that you are maturing...or at least older? Now it's a whole different ballgame.

Glen Henry is a creator, husband, father of four, and the heart behind Beleaf in Fatherhood, a YouTube community of more than a million people. Once a hip-hop artist who didn't want kids, Glen is now one of the most powerful voices reshaping what it means to be a modern dad. Through his podcast How Married Are You?, his new book Father Yourself First, and his storytelling online, Glen brings humor, honesty, and hope to the everyday chaos of parenting.   Today, Glen shares how becoming a father led him to face the wounds of his past, rediscover his purpose, and learn that leading your family starts with leading yourself. He opens up about mentorship, faith, the beauty in ordinary family life, and how to heal from the inside out so you can show up with love, presence, and purpose.   My friends, if you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough, this conversation is for you. You'll leave with a deeper sense of grace for yourself, a renewed belief in the power of family, and the encouragement to keep showing up (even on the hard days!) with love, presence, and hope.

For two seasons now, I've shared a broadcast booth with Guy Haberman—a voice built for Saturdays and a friend built for life. This week on Y-Option, fueled by our founding sponsor 76 — keeping you on the GO-GO-GO so you never miss a beat, I sat down with Guy for one last conversation before his world changes forever. In a few weeks, he and his wife Alyssa will welcome their first child.So before football, before anything else, we talked about that.Our job as broadcasters is to notice—to study body language, tone, and timing. So I asked him what he's noticed most about his wife through the journey to parenthood. What followed was a reflection on steadiness, partnership, and what happens when the people closest to you reveal their best traits in the hardest moments. It reminded me that even in a profession obsessed with highlights, the most meaningful growth often happens quietly—off-camera, between breaths, in the spaces life gives us before everything changes.We also dove into the lessons learned from production meeting with head coaches, off-line chats on the sideline and the principles that are shared between a locker room and a living room.Guy not only works Saturday's in the fall but also Sunday's as one of the radio voices for the San Francisco 49ers. And once his son arrives he will be back on the hardwood calling basketball games for Big Ten Network, Fox and NBC/Peacock. When we talked about the craft of broadcasting, Guy described the last two seasons as an exercise in presence. Each week he focused on getting a little bit better—on one small thing—knowing this would be a shorter season before he turned his attention to fatherhood. That kind of intentional growth struck me. It's easy to talk about chasing big dreams; it's harder to live in the details of daily improvement. And as someone who studied film with him each week, he's right and he lived with a growth mindset all summer and fall.The theme that echoed throughout our time together was simple: the best performers—whether in football, broadcasting, or life—operate with clarity, humility, and consistency. They don't get caught up in what's next. They just keep showing up, refining their process, trusting the people around them, and letting time reveal the result. From Kyle Shanahan to Ryan Day to PJ Fleck and everyone in between—there is a red thread that ties success together.This episode isn't about highlights or hot takes—it's about friendship, discipline, and the beauty of life's little gifts. It's about learning to Chase What Matters, on and off the field and if you get a little lucky, you'll get a few great games along the way.I'm off to Madison, Wisconsin this weekend for Washington, finally ranked and in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, as they visit Camp Randall for the first time in 57 years. More on the CFP this weekend and as the old saying goes, "the games they remember are the ones in November.”Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has made headlines over the past week for a series of newsworthy moves, emotional reveals, and business milestones that signal a new chapter both professionally and personally. Currently 31, Justin emerged from a period of relative quiet to preview new music and open up on Twitch, the live-streaming platform he joined just days ago. Fans have gotten a raw look at his daily life—skateboarding, studio sessions, and candid conversations—where he's reflected on the challenge of being emotionally vulnerable in the public eye. Displaying his signature transparency, Bieber told viewers sharing himself in this way is “vulnerable as hell,” admitting that even supportive comments can be overshadowed by online negativity, but he insisted that he still has his zest for life, despite critics. Music fans are buzzing about Justin's return to the spotlight. This year marked his first live performance in the U.S. since 2022, with his next major performance set for Coachella 2026 as a Saturday headliner. The Coachella announcement, which also features Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma, sold out in days and prompted Hailey Bieber, his wife, to share her excitement on Instagram with a playful “BIEBERCHELLA!!!!!!!!! :)” Justin revealed that while he's excited and working hard for the Coachella set, the prospect of a traditional world tour feels “super daunting.” After years of non-stop touring, balancing new fatherhood with 15-month-old son Jack Blues, and his marriage to Hailey, Justin now prefers “spot dates,” choosing quality and family over quantity and exhaustion. According to People, he's made it clear he'll focus on select shows rather than year-long touring marathons, explaining that he plans to perform new material from his Swag albums live for the first time at Coachella. Behind the scenes, Bieber has quietly staged a business transformation. According to CEO Today, he launched his minimalist, high-quality streetwear line SKYLRK in 2025, with the debut collection selling out within hours and earning comparisons to Fenty and Yeezy. Bieber's strategy sees him leveraging his social media reach, estimated at over 290 million followers, for direct-to-consumer sales and exclusive events. This pivot, coupled with his wife Hailey's beauty brand Rhode, positions the couple as a power duo in entertainment entrepreneurship. With Bieber's net worth estimated at $300 million and SKYLRK's next drop already rumored to involve top designer collaborations, industry watchers see Justin's moves as a blueprint for celebrity-led brand empires. On social platforms, Justin's Twitch streams, Hailey's Instagram posts celebrating his achievements, and the family's outing to a World Series game in LA have kept the Biebers' name trending. While there are always tabloids hinting at drama—Justin recently dismissed rumors as “gossip and lies”—verified reporting points to a man prioritizing family, business innovation, and a return to passionate music-making on his own terms.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Zack Ponder shares his raw journey from struggling entrepreneur with a DUI to becoming a present father who homeschools four kids while his wife battles cancer. A former special education teacher who worked with profound autism students, Zack discovered God through the daily challenges of non-speaking, violent students and translated those insights into his books "Special Days" and the upcoming "Happy Days" devotional. Now splitting time between his construction business in North Idaho and Southern California where his wife receives treatment, Zack opens up about the transformation from doing the right things to actually being present, learning to ask "what" instead of "why" when facing hardship, and discovering that his podcast interviewing special needs parents became unexpected training for finally seeing and hearing his own wife. He discusses the critical shift that happened six months ago when he truly embraced fatherhood in the hospital, realizing that if he didn't keep it together and lead, his family would fall apart. Zack vulnerably shares about living with in-laws for ten months, the reality of needing God moment-by-moment through daily challenges, and why he believes comfort is the enemy of growth for fathers.Guest LinksThe Unspecial Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unspecial-podcast/id1829866470Instagram: @unspecialllc or @zackponderWebsite: unspecialllc.com---------Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 037: Michael Morelli on Rock Bottom Addiction Recovery, Building a Bitcoin-Powered Fitness Empire, Parallels to Sound Money & Radical LongevityMichael Morelli's Bitcoin journey mirrors his brutal addiction recovery: from high more than sober for a decade, snorting oxycodone amid bankruptcy and affairs, to a 113-day shred from 25% to 8% body fat—bootstrapping FitScript into a multimillion-dollar data-driven health empire coaching 600+ men with peak biomarkers while stacking BTC as a maxi since 2020. Inspired by Saifedean Ammous' "The Bitcoin Standard," Morelli draws logical parallels between paleo nutrition's ancestral simplicity and Bitcoin's finite, sound money—why it's the only asset that "just seems logical" in a fiat-fueled health and wealth disparity crisis. In this BTC Sessions interview, he busts carnivore myths (labs "fucking wrecked"), unpacks peptides for faster gains, red light therapy hacks, and his no-excuses mantra: if a coke-addicted bankrupt can rebuild to live until 150, stacking sats with low-time preference, Bitcoiners have zero excuses for subpar health.

Was Jesus actually born in December? If not, why do we celebrate it then and not his actual birthday? Does celebrating it in December along with the traditional things that are a part of it have pagan roots? If so, does that mean Christians are wrong for celebrating Christmas? Does having a Christmas tree and other items as part of our celebration violate rules in Deuteronomy or other Bible passages? The post SILY 670- Constantine and Christmas appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.

When Mat Owen lost his wife Nic to breast cancer in 2023, his world was turned upside down. Left to raise their two young children, he faced the unimaginable: grieving the love of his life while trying to stay present as a father.In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Rosie and Mat explore what it means to parent through loss, love someone through illness, and rebuild life when the person who anchored you is gone. Mat speaks with raw honesty about emotional shutdown, male grief, and the isolation that often comes with being a widowed dad. He shares the highs and heartbreak of his life with Nic, from meeting in their teens to defying medical odds to become parents, and the quiet strength she showed throughout her cancer journey.Together, they reflect on the small, everyday moments that carry enormous weight: bedtime routines, school WhatsApp threads, a child's comment about a photo, and the instant you realise your daughter looks just like her mum. The episode also delves into coping after loss, from alcohol use to dating apps, and the difficult but hopeful path toward self-compassion and sobriety.This is a conversation about love that refuses to fade, the legacy of a mother's strength, and the courage it takes to keep showing up. Mat's story is a reminder that even in the depths of grief, we can find purpose, connection, and hope.Episode highlights:• Mat reflects on meeting Nic in his early twenties and how her strength and clarity brought purpose and love into his life.• They navigate the shock of a cancer diagnosis in 2011, a relationship tested through treatment, and their fierce determination to become parents against medical predictions.• Mat discusses the return of Nic's cancer after the birth of their second child, the emotional strain it brought, and Nic's unwavering resilience through her final years.• Together, they confront male emotional reticence in grief and the unexpected difficulty of building support networks as a widowed father.• Mat shares how he and Nic co-created child-friendly bereavement tools, “cancer flashcards,” and how he now carries that legacy forward. https://www.littlecclub.com/shop• The conversation explores coping mechanisms after loss, from alcohol use to dating apps, and the difficult but hopeful path toward sobriety and reconnection.• Parenting after loss is shown in touching detail, from school run routines to gently helping children navigate insensitive playground remarks.• They close on how grief reshapes identity, the quiet pride Mat finds in being “the school mum,” and the presence of Nic in the children she left behind.

A thirteen-year-old can now decide who sees their records in many states, and too often that means dad gets locked out. We pull back the curtain on how policy, portals, and a feelings-first mindset are reshaping family dynamics in clinics, counseling rooms, and courtrooms—and why active father involvement remains one of the strongest predictors of a child's long-term wellbeing.Join our Signal Channel: https://shorturl.at/8yqTbJoin The Divorce Dadvocate Membership Community - FULL Episodes - Live Meetings – FREE Workshops & Courses – Private Discussion Groups & MORE! - https://thedivorceddadvocate.com/membership-tiers/How Are You Adjusting To Your Divorce?

In this episode, I dive into one of the hardest truths many men face after becoming fathers: the woman you married may not be the same woman after the baby arrives.For a lot of men—especially the more sensitive or anxiously attached ones—this change feels like emotional whiplash. The affection disappears, the intimacy vanishes, and suddenly you feel like a stranger in your own home. I read and discuss a real Reddit post from a man who experienced this after 20 years of marriage... and what his story reveals about millions of couples worldwide.We'll talk about:Why this shift happens biologically and emotionallyThe reality of “Wife 1.0” vs. “Wife 2.0”How men can respond without falling into resentment or despairWhat to do when your wife refuses counseling or intimacyHow anxious attachment can make this pain even worseAnd why community and brotherhood are vital for recoveryThis is a brutally honest but deeply empathetic look at one of the most misunderstood transitions in modern marriage.

Did you grow up in a home with a favourite child? Do you secretly favour one of your own kids? We unpack the expert opinions and whether or not parental favouritism actually matters in the long run. Plus, we deep-dive into Jennifer Lawrence's recent The New Yorker profile where she shares what her life looks like postpartum and how returning to work has left her feeling like a fundamentally different person. Relate, much? And, from Jennifer Aniston opening up about adoption to Hailey Bieber sharing the secret that helps her raise her son, it seems like the A-listers are finally peeling back the curtain on the unvarnished truth about having kids. Our Recommendations:

As parents, we need philosophy just as much as our kids do. Parenting demands the four Stoic virtues: courage (to do what's hard), discipline (to follow through), justice (to do what's right), and wisdom (to know what matters).

We welcome back visionary storyteller Glenn Henry (Belief in Fatherhood) as he discusses his new book, Father Yourself First (dropping November 4th). Glenn gets real about the hard work of parenting, moving past the romanticized YouTube version. He shares the personal crisis that fueled the book, including throwing a tantrum in the office mirror and the dilemma of his inner child being jealous of the parent he became. Hear how Glenn had to reconcile with his wife, even taking a CNA job (resulting in a very memorable story) to prove his willingness to work. We also unpack the unexpected Stanley Cup experience that led him from hating hockey to being "all in".
