Podcasts about fatherhood

Most men were never taught how to be emotionally present. They were taught how to provide, how to perform, and how to push through. And for a long time, that felt like enough. But if you've ever come home after leading hundreds of people at work and felt completely lost in your own living room, you're not alone. This is why famous at home exists in the first place. In this episode, Josh discusses the tension men feel between the demands of their professional lives and the deeper call of their homes. Drawing on decades of research—including what one USC longitudinal study found is the single greatest factor for passing faith across generations—his own coaching work with high-capacity men, and two personal moments where he heard the quiet voice of God, Josh unpacks the three relationships every father must tend: with his wife, with his kids, and with Jesus. Whether you lead hundreds at work and feel lost at home, or you're simply trying to figure out what a present, emotionally engaged husband and father looks like in practice — this one's for you.*Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

You've got a long commute to school and then the office. They never sleep. There's drama in the mom or dad group. It's a lot. It's also nothing!

Joevon Barnes is a plumber, coach, speaker, radio host, and father of two daughters. But more than anything, he's a man who chose to break cycles, stay present, and become the father his daughters needed.In this deeply practical and inspiring conversation, Joevon joins Ned Schaut to discuss fatherhood after divorce, raising daughters, healing family wounds, overcoming anger, building generational relationships, and why showing up consistently matters more than being perfect.Joevon shares the story of growing up as the youngest of seven children, navigating the fallout that followed his parents' passing, and learning hard lessons about family, legacy, and preparation. He offers a powerful challenge to fathers everywhere: get your affairs in order, communicate your wishes clearly, and don't leave your children with unnecessary burdens after you're gone.The heart of the conversation centers around one remarkable commitment:For more than 16 years, Joevon has maintained a weekly Daddy-Daughter Night with his daughters. Through divorce, custody changes, career shifts, and every season of life, he never stopped showing up. Today, at ages 28 and 24, his daughters still prioritize that time together.Joevon and Ned discuss:Raising daughters after divorce.Why children should never be placed in the middle of parental conflict.The importance of being present, even when life gets messy.How fathers shape the future relationships of their children.Healing from anger and childhood wounds.The role of mentors, teachers, and coaches.Building friendships with aging parents.Preparing for grandfatherhood.Financial wisdom and generational legacy.Why every child deserves a father who stays.One of the most moving moments comes when Joevon reflects on his father:“He may not have been the best of pops, but he was always there.”This episode is a reminder that fatherhood is not about perfection.It's about presence. It's about consistency. It's about being there.

Nearly half of young men today say they feel like failures — and Pastor Russ Ewell of Bay Area Christian Church says the solution isn't complicated, but it does require intentionality. Brian From sits down with Russ ahead of Father's Day to talk about what's driving the crisis among young men, why mentorship has fallen off, and what fathers and churches can actually do about it. Russ draws from decades of working with young men ages 12 to 30 across nine church campuses in Silicon Valley, making the case that the questions young men are asking — Will I be loved? Who am I? What's my purpose? — aren't being answered well by social media, economics, or a culture that has quietly stopped investing in boys. A practical, honest conversation for dads, pastors, and anyone who cares about the next generation of men.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plato, with total seriousness (and probably a bit of humor too), said that “of all the wild things, a boy is the most difficult to handle.” A lot of parents would agree to that.

Jeff Krasno didn't expect to become a home birth convert. When his wife Schuyler handed him a pregnancy test on Christmas morning 2003, everything changed. In this episode, Jeff shares the birth story of their eldest daughter, tracing the unlikely path from a cramped Manhattan seminar with midwifery legend Ina May Gaskin to a blustery August delivery at the old family cottage in Fenwick, Connecticut, and the two weeks it took to finally name her. This is the first episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

We've been told forever that women are the only natural caregivers, but neuroscience shows that's just not true; men actually go through huge biological shifts when they become dads, too.Sitting down with Emily for this episode is clinical psychologist Darby Saxbe, who chats to us about her book Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men's Lives, which challenges neo-traditional assumptions about parenting roles. Their conversation highlights the biological reality of fatherhood, exploring how men experience hormonal shifts, brain changes, and even paternal postpartum depression. Darby also uncovers how hands-on parenting trends are shifting across generations, the connection between relationship conflict and a dad's mental health, and how policy changes like paid paternity leave can transform modern family dynamics.Listen and Learn:How the modern science of fatherhood rewrites traditional gender roles, why the "Dad Brain" is biologically wired for caregiving, and how millennial and Gen Z fathers are redefining the rewards and divides of modern parentingThe concept of "facultative adaptation" and how it shapes the natural variability of fatherhood How a father's brain and body prepare for parenthood during pregnancyHow a couple's relationship conflict during pregnancy can directly impact the labor and delivery experience Why the prenatal period is a critical window for couples to proactively strengthen their communication, navigate relationship shifts, and better manage the stress and emotional toll of childbirth and early parenthood The ways postpartum depression manifests in new dads How a father's hormone levels naturally drop after birth and why high testosterone can unexpectedly strain romantic relationships and parenting The unique benefits of the father-child relationship Why we need to view men's mental health through a family lens How progressive policy shifts are working to empower and destigmatize active fatherhood Resources: Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men's Lives https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781250387523 Darby's Website: https://www.darbysaxbe.comDarby's Substack: https://darbysaxbe.substack.comConnect with Darby on Social Media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darbysaxbehttps://www.instagram.com/darbysaxbephd/Behind Every Dad Bod is a Healthy Dad Brain https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/06/opinion/dad-brain-health-fatherhood.htmlAbout Darby SaxbeDarby Saxbe, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and tenured full professor of psychology at the University of Southern California.She has published over eighty scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and secured major research grants from the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation.

We often talk about the biological and emotional transformation of motherhood, but what happens to men's brains when they become fathers?On this episode, host Maiken Scott chats with psychologist and researcher Darby Saxbe to explore her new book, “Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men's Lives.”While the "dad bod" is a common trope, Saxbe's research reveals that the changes go much deeper. Drawing on longitudinal studies, she explains how fatherhood triggers a biological reorganization — including measurable changes in brain volume within the social cognition network and dynamic shifts in hormones like testosterone and prolactin. Far from being "damage," these changes are an adaptive process, streamlining the brain to help fathers process social information and bond with their children.

Charles Wesley Godwin joins God's Country to discuss his new album Christian Name, faith, fatherhood, hunting, Appalachia, fly fishing, Luke Combs, and the story that changed his life forever. From growing up in the mountains of West Virginia to becoming one of country music's most respected storytellers, Charles opens up about the experiences that shaped his brand new album. We dive into: • The heartbreaking loss of his son Samuel and how faith carried him through • The deeper meaning behind Christian Name • Growing up in Appalachia and why he'll never leave West Virginia • Hunting mountain whitetails and fly fishing out West • Writing "Hey There Son" with legendary songwriter Lori McKenna • Touring with Luke Combs and the rise of his career • Why "Country Roads" absolutely belongs to West Virginia This is Charles Wesley Godwin at his most honest—sharing stories about family, grief, faith, music, and the outdoors that remind us what really matters.

What happens to the brain when men become fathers? Clinical psychologist and neuroscientist Darby Saxbe studies how investing in caregiving changes the brains and bodies of men.. Darby and Adam examine the surprising similarities between dad and mom brains and the different mechanisms that activate them. They also discuss the effects of having a daughter on men's empathy and generosity, the hormonal mechanism behind “dad bods,” and the case for workplaces to grant parental leave to men as well as women.Featured guestFollow Darby Saxbe on Instagram and https://www.darbysaxbe.com/Subscribe to her Substack, Natal GazingBuy Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How it Shapes Men's LivesConnect with the teamFollow Adam on Instagram, LinkedIn, and at adamgrant.net/Subscribe to Adam's substack GrantedWatch ReThinking videos on YouTube at TEDAudioCollectiveFollow TED on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTokReThinking is produced by Cosmic Standard.

We have a whole language for the gift of motherhood — soak it up, you were made for this, it's sacred even when it's invisible. We've barely written one for fathers. In this episode we name some of the things we wish more dads actually heard: that you were made for this even when you haven't figured it out, that the weight you carry is real even when no one calls it that, that you're not the backup parent or the helper but a teammate standing beside. It's honest, it's a little funny, and it ends with a liturgy for the one who walks beside us. If you're a dad, this one's for you. If you're not — it might be the one you send. If you love what we do and want more behind-the-scenes fun, bonus episodes, and exclusive content, join the walk in love. Podcast Membership today!

One thing far too many parents have in common is that they are always putting off taking care of themselves. This may come from a good place, but the results are good for no one.

Fatherhood has been one of the greatest gifts and blessings of my life. As I prepare to celebrate Father's Day this weekend and soon enter a brand-new season as an empty nester, I've been reflecting on the journey of raising three incredible kids over the last 23 years. The truth is, there's no playbook for being a parent. No manual. No perfect formula. You learn by diving in, showing up, making mistakes, and loving with your whole heart. In this heartfelt episode, I share the lessons, memories, and wisdom that have shaped me as a father—from those 4 a.m. newborn moments with Luke sleeping on my chest, to coaching my kids on the field, to preparing to watch all three of them spread their wings and chase their dreams. Whether you're a dad, mom, grandparent, coach, mentor, or simply someone who values family, this episode is a powerful reminder that the greatest impact we make often happens at home. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why every season of parenting deserves to be appreciated and embraced. How becoming a parent deepens your purpose and changes your perspective forever. The power of creating meaningful experiences and memories with your family. Why the daily routines, values, and habits you instill matter more than any vacation or milestone. The bedtime affirmation that shaped the Durkin family culture for nearly two decades. How coaching your kids can strengthen your relationships and create unforgettable moments. Why volunteering, mentoring, and being involved in your children's activities matters so much. The life-changing lesson Todd learned from his father about the value of time. How "special time" with your kids can leave an imprint that lasts a lifetime. Why fathers and mothers play an irreplaceable role in shaping future generations. The emotions, excitement, and gratitude that come with entering the empty-nester chapter of life. A powerful reminder that time is our most precious commodity—and we can't afford to waste it. Fatherhood or parenting isn't about being perfect. It's about being present. It's about showing up day after day, creating experiences, building character, teaching values, and loving your kids through every season of life. As I look back on 23 years of being a Dad, what stands out most isn't the accomplishments, the awards, or the milestones—it's the moments. The conversations. The trips. The routines. The laughter. The lessons. The time. And as I prepare for this next chapter with all three of my children now pursuing their own dreams, I'm reminded that our role as parents isn't to keep our kids close forever—it's to help them grow wings and fly. If this episode spoke to you, please share it with a father, mother, coach, mentor, or someone who has made a lasting impact on your life.

Moses was the father of two sons, Gershom and Eliezer, and he also served as a father figure to the entire Hebrew people as they escaped from slavery in Egypt.He loved his people and helped discipline and provide for them on their 40-year journey to the Promised Land. Imagine leading a frustrated, tired, hungry group of travelers through the desert — without air conditioning or handheld electronics — for four decades!So many aspects of Moses' life story seem larger-than-life, and he was indeed a hero of his time — but he was also merely a man. Moses' perseverance in the face of incredible challenges over the course of his life shows today's fathers that overwhelming tasks can be achieved when we stay close to God.Exodus 16:11–12 says, “The Lord said to Moses, ‘I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.'”The Israelites were afraid they would starve in the barren desert after fleeing Egypt, and complained to Moses that it would have been better if they had died by the Lord's hand in Egypt, where they had enough to eat, than to wander the desert without provisions. Imagine how frustrated Moses must have been! The Lord had miraculously saved the Israelites from slavery, and now they worried God wouldn't provide what they needed to survive.Through God's faithful guidance, Moses was able to shepherd the Israelites through 40 years of wilderness living. They quarreled with Moses. They accused him of leading them to disaster and ruin. They complained frequently — even after they had seen God's promises fulfilled. Yet still, Moses carried on. He brought every concern to the Lord, and with God's blessing and guidance, he was able to keep going.Philippians 4:6 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”Moses teaches fathers that with God, all things are possible.God answers prayer, and desires intimate fellowship with every believer.No one can follow God's laws perfectly. We all need a Savior.Let's pray.Heavenly Father, sometimes parenting is exhausting! Thank you for the blessing of children, and we ask you to bless dads with patience to spare and to make your presence known to tired dads in the trenches who need your wisdom, and your grace. In Jesus' name, amen.Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

If you're a dad in the thick of it — the 2am feedings, the broken weed eaters, the kid who knows exactly how to get under your skin — hear this first: you were forged for this. God didn't draft the wrong man for your family.In this Father's Day episode of the Kavod Man of God Podcast, Justin Bohner and Travis Shook sit down with Jeffrey Epps — three and a half months into being a dad to his son Maverick, a boy he and his wife prayed toward for years — to honor the weight you're already carrying and remind you what God is doing in the middle of it.Here's the truth most Father's Day messages miss: the grind is the forge. The patience, the self-control, the dying to self that fatherhood demands aren't things God hands a man from a distance. He forges them in you, through the daily work of leading a family. Your kids aren't only being shaped by you. God is shaping you through them. None of it is wasted.Inside this conversation:- Why you were built to carry this — and why the weight itself is a calling, not a burden- The identity, calling, forging, and reigning every man walks through as a father- How your children become a mirror, and how to take the lesson without flinching- The weightiness of a long-prayed-for child, and the gravity it puts on a man- Why the new-dad season that feels like "nothing to give" is exactly where God works- How you teach your kids the real pattern: when you fail, you run to God and get back up- Proverbs 14:4 and the manger that won't stay clean: the mess is where the profit isThis isn't one more Father's Day message telling you to do better. It's a reminder of who you already are — a man God forged for this — and a call to carry it like it."Much revenue comes by the strength of the ox." — Proverbs 14:4Put your hands to the plow. Open your eyes to what God is doing in you. Have a blessed week.———If this stirred something in you, don't just consume it. Live it. Then hand it to another man who needs it.Subscribe and walk with us every week as we call men up to who God made them to be.———→ Everything Kavod (articles, resources, programs): kavodfamilyministries.org/links→ Connect: info@kavodfamily.org

Today I'm sharing something I've never talked about publicly. It's a story I almost waited to tell, because honestly, we're still in the middle of it. But I've come to believe that sometimes the most valuable lessons aren't the ones you share from the other side of the mountain. They're the ones you share from the climb.

Part 2 of Joe Stopulos's Uncommon Good interview with Dr. Bud Maher picks up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Joe is studying at Marquette University — attending daily Mass during Lent (sometimes before the bar closed), seeking out every Jesuit professor he could find, and slowly beginning to ask why the Church teaches what it teaches. Highlights include: College Faith in the Real World: Joe reflects on attending a 10 p.m. Sunday Mass while most of his friend group wasn't practicing. He describes going to daily Mass every day of Lent in college — including a legendary St. Patrick's Day that started at 5:50 a.m. outside a bar and still included 6:30 a.m. Mass. A perfect encapsulation of where he was spiritually. Meeting His First Protestant at 25: A friendship with a Methodist minister friend forced Joe to actually articulate why Catholics do what they do — confession, the sacraments, all of it. He couldn't answer from Scripture. That sent him to CatholicAnswers.com, and every answer he found only deepened his conviction. Father John Ricardo Changes Everything: Introduced to Iowa Catholic Radio through friend John Leonetti (whom Joe famously told "nobody listens to Catholic radio"), Joe started tuning in to Father Ricardo at 11 a.m. and never stopped. He began burning CDs of Ricardo's talks to hand out. Combined with Jeff Cavins' Bible Timeline study and Scott Hahn's The Lamb's Supper, this launched a roughly 24-month transformation that Joe describes as the turning point of his adult faith. The Origin of Man Up: Joe shares how his early on-air appearances during Iowa Catholic Radio fundraisers eventually led to a standing show — made possible, he says, by the theological confidence and credibility of his original co-host, Father Zach. Now approaching 10 years and 400+ episodes, Man Up remains one of the network's cornerstone programs. Life at the Basilica of Saint John: Joe talks about the thriving parish community at Saint John's Basilica in Des Moines, the pastoral transition from the beloved Father Quinn to Father Trevor Sequin, and why surrounding yourself with friends striving for virtue is one of the three most important decisions a man can make. Saint Thomas Classical Academy: Joe highlights this homeschool hybrid co-op as one of the great gifts of his family's life in Des Moines. A major event is coming up — Bishop Conley will be the keynote speaker on October 20th, focusing on his devotion to Saint John Henry Newman. Don't miss it. Hope for the Future of the Church: Joe closes with optimism — men are returning to the Church, communities are growing, and the Forge Conference is proof. As Joe puts it: if Joe Rogan's going to church, a lot of people are going to church. Next week on Man Up: Joe re-airs a two-part interview he recorded with his father during the Heroic Fatherhood series — a tribute to the man he calls the greatest of his life.

Is there a "secret recipe" for biblical fatherhood, or have we been looking at the wrong map?

Family court is drifting into a dangerous contradiction: more states are proving that default 50/50 shared parenting lowers conflict and supports kids, while new “coercive control” standards expand domestic violence claims into subjective territory that can sideline a parent fast. On our sixth anniversary panel, we sit down with family court reform advocate Robert Garza and Divorce Dads of America founder Anthony Thompson to name what's happening, why it's happening, and what dads can do next.Robert shares what he learned after surviving 43 false allegations, 16 years of litigation, and over $700,000 in legal fees, then turning that pain into practical one-page bills. We dig into why courts and bar associations push back on equal parenting time, how “standard possession” became the default ceiling, and why procedures and proof standards often matter more than the truth when parents are forced to go pro se. We also talk through concrete fixes like returning parenting time when allegations are unsubstantiated, enforcing consequences for repeated violations, and raising the standard of evidence when parental rights are at stake.Anthony brings the on-the-ground reality: dads in the blender, burning cash, losing focus, and struggling to stay present. We unpack extreme ownership, specificity, community support, and the role forgiveness can play in protecting your mental health while the legal system moves at its own pace. Being unprepared is how great fathers become weekend visitors. Most ground is lost quietly through "drift" and decisions made under pressure.

Power is often found in presence, not perfection—and Brandon McAnderson brings that truth to life in this deeply reflective conversation. From redefining partnership through awareness and intention, to unpacking the inner stories men carry about identity, masculinity, and self-worth, Brandon shares a grounded perspective on what it means to show up fully in relationships, fatherhood, and community. He challenges the idea of "percentage-based love," inviting listeners instead into wholeness, reciprocity without scorekeeping, and intentional space-making for others to thrive.  The conversation expands into a powerful exploration of storytelling—how the narratives we repeat can either reinforce limitation or unlock healing and growth. Brandon speaks candidly about ego protection, generational cycles, and the responsibility of rewriting inherited beliefs so the next generation can experience more freedom, connection, and authenticity. Through lived experience and cultural reflection, he offers a compelling reminder that breaking cycles begins with awareness, and community is often found simply by choosing to show up.  Key Takeaways:   True partnership is about showing up fully, not exchanging percentages of effort or love.   When men detach from external labels, they can reconnect with their deeper sense of self and purpose.   Many internal narratives are rooted in ego protection, not truth, and can be rewritten with awareness.   Growth happens when we consciously choose to shift patterns passed down through family and culture.   Transformation doesn't require perfection—just willingness to show up, participate, and engage.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union. Thank you for helping us promote connection, well-being, and stronger communities. If you're looking for trusted financial wellbeing resources, we invite you to connect with their team and take the next step toward greater financial confidence.  Healing Circle: https://calendly.com/vvitality/communitycircle?month=2026-06&date=2026-06-24   About Brandon McAnderson:  A native of Lawrence, Kansas, Brandon attended the University of Kansas as a student athlete. Brandon was a team captain of the 2008 Orange Bowl Championship team, and was All Big 12 in 2006 and 2007 at Running back. After signing with the St. Louis Rams out of college and spending a year chasing the NFL dream he became interested in stepping into the sports media land scape. Hosting podcasts, taking weekly radio segments, and doing pre and postgame KU Football analysis for Spectrum. In 2020 he officially joined the Jayhawk Radio network as a sideline analyst. He hosts The Crimson and Blue pregame show and provides in game analysis, and postgame interviews with coaches and players.  Brandon is also active in the Kansas City community participating in multiple philanthropic endeavors aimed at destigmatizing, discussing, and organizing men to come together and grow spiritually to enrich lives and address commonly held, harmful male stigmas.  Connect with Brandon McAnderson at:  https://www.instagram.com/brando_mac/  https://www.threads.com/@brando_mac?xmt=AQG0WMf-l1vOk01AnJ3pn2Lg3-JZhXBiQEL90Wn_MkSfka4   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  https://www.youtube.com/@smallchangesbigshiftsco    Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

In this episode of Dean's Chat, Drs. Jeffrey Jensen and Johanna Richey welcome Dr. James Whelan, attending faculty with the OSF St. Catherine Residency Program, Chair of the APMA Education Committee, Wisconsin Podiatry Examining Board Chair, and an emerging leader in the podiatric profession. The conversation explores Dr. Whelan's journey into podiatry, his passion for resident education, and the leadership lessons he has gained through clinical practice, organized medicine, and family life.Dr. Whelan shares how a chance opportunity to shadow multiple surgical specialties as an undergraduate student led him to podiatry. While the procedures themselves were fascinating, it was the podiatrist's professionalism, kindness, and interactions with patients and staff that ultimately inspired his career path. From there, the discussion shifts to residency education, where Dr. Whelan reflects on the profound responsibility of training future physicians. Drawing from both positive and challenging experiences during his own residency, he discusses the importance of creating psychologically safe learning environments, fostering confidence, and using coaching principles to help residents overcome obstacles and achieve their potential.The conversation highlights the evolving culture of medical education and the balance between maintaining high expectations while supporting learners through constructive feedback. Dr. Whelan shares practical examples of how individualized coaching and mentorship can transform struggling residents into confident future colleagues. He also discusses the unique privilege of working with residents and how teaching continually sharpens his own clinical skills and perspectives.Beyond residency training, Dr. Whelan offers insights from his service on the Wisconsin Podiatry Examining Board, where he reviews licensure and disciplinary matters. He emphasizes that many complaints stem not from poor clinical care but from breakdowns in communication, documentation, and professionalism—valuable lessons for practitioners at every stage of their careers.In recognition of Father's Day, the discussion concludes with a meaningful conversation about balancing leadership, clinical practice, and family. Dr. Whelan reflects on how becoming a husband and father reshaped his definition of success, emphasizing that professional achievements are important, but relationships and presence with loved ones matter most. His thoughtful perspective on mentorship, leadership, and service offers valuable lessons for students, residents, and experienced practitioners alike.This episode is a powerful reminder that excellence in medicine extends far beyond clinical skill—it is built through kindness, coaching, advocacy, lifelong learning, and a commitment to helping others succeed.

Have you ever dreamt of packing up your family and escaping to the country? Former AFL player Buddy Franklin and his wife Jesinta have ditched the big city for something a little... quieter. Monz, Amelia and Stacey are unpacking whether it’s possible to completely reinvent your family life. Plus, Stacey explains her 'Florist Theory.’ Also, there’s a new solution for parenting exhaustion that involves dividing household duties differently, and we’re trying to decide if it’s genius, or not all it’s cracked up to be. And, what about the ‘double drop-off’? First it was ponytails and pints and now it’s pints and periods. British dads are going to the pub to learn more about periods and how to show up for their daughters. Monz has thoughts, but honestly? We think it’s kind of wholesome. Reccos: Stacey is loving Office Romance on Netflix.

Darby Saxbe (Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men's Lives) is a clinical psychologist, tenured professor, and researcher on family stress and the transition to parenthood. Darby joins Armchair Expert to discuss growing up in an academic household, her parents' dramatic divorce, and watching her surgeon father suddenly learn how to become the primary parent. Darby and Dax talk about why fatherhood research has lagged behind motherhood research, what happens chemically and neurologically to new dads, and how hunter-gatherer societies, Barcelona playgrounds, and Swedish “latte papas” reveal very different models of raising children. Darby explains why “dad bod” is a real thing, how dads' brains physically change when they engage in caregiving, and why kids may need more community, boredom, roughhousing, and freedom than modern parenting usually allows.Check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds: https://www.allstate.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The guys dive into anxiety, fatherhood, marriage, stand-up comedy, social media fame, growing up Catholic, and why so many comedians are frustrated with the changing entertainment landscape. Eric opens up about raising two young kids, balancing family life with comedy, and his unique path from viral videos to sold-out theaters. Plus, Chris and Eric debate weddings, comedy etiquette, internet fame, and whether stand-up comedians are too obsessed with how other people found success.

We've been asking our kids the wrong question since kindergarten. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" confuses identity with performance, and Josh argues we've been setting them up for anxiety and false selves ever since.This episode reframes the whole parenting mission around the theme of Jesus's central message: the Kingdom of God. When kids understand their personal role in building for the kingdom of God, their identity stops depending on what they do, what they have, or what anyone thinks of them. It's a parenting paradigm shift that gives our kids a purpose bigger than anything the world has to offer.We also announce the launch of a brand new parenting platform for raising emotionally healthy and spiritually mature kids called Raising Future Legends.*Once again, thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode.

They didn't understand you? Of course they're confused. Welcome to being a kid.

Every man carries forces that pull against each other. It could be the urge to numb out and the call to face it, the inheritance of his father's failures and the responsibility to break the chain. For Michael Millin, those opposing forces weren't a metaphor. They were the difference between a life lost to addiction and the 17 years of sobriety he's built since hitting bottom with his back against the wall. Today, Michael and I talk about generational trauma, the instability of growing up with a father who came in and out of his life, and what it actually takes to stop running from the pain you've spent your whole life numbing. This is a raw conversation about alcoholism, faith, and the lie that we have to wrap our identity up in being broken. Michael shares how he went from mocking Christianity to wrestling honestly with God, how a single sober friend changed the trajectory of his life, and why enablers do more damage than they'll ever admit. If you've ever told yourself you weren't okay, this one is for you.
