#93 - Solo Episode: The Madness, Joy, and Messiness of Being a New Dad

I’m a new dad! Being a new dad has brought up a LOT for me. I’ve heard a lot of well-meaning advice, like:

-Get some sleep while you can!

-Soak it all in. Being a parent is the best.

-You might not connect with your child immediately, and that’s ok.

These are all true, but they are very surface level. My intention with this episode is to provide depth, color and texture to what it’s like to bring a child into the world.

Being a dad has tested me in every way imaginable, and hopefully the lessons I have learned (and surely continue to learn; as I’m writing this, I went through one of my most challenging days as a parent) can show more of the full picture of fatherhood and parenthood.

Enjoy this conversation!


Additionally, I’ll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest’s choice with each episode now. This episode, I’ve selected 2 wonderful organizations: AllKings and The Unstoppable Foundation. Any and all donations make a difference!
