In today's episode, we dive deep into the heart of fatherhood with Eric, a soon-to-be dad navigating the complex emotions and preparations for welcoming a new life into the world. From his reflective journey on the influences of his upbringing to the anticipation of crafting new traditions, Eric opens up about the nuanced path to parenthood.

As we explore Eric's story, we touch on the significance of community, the transformative power of sharing experiences, and the importance of embracing the unknown. This episode isn't just about the logistics of becoming a parent but the profound changes it brings to one's identity and outlook on life.

Eric's candidness provides a window into the joys and challenges that come with this major life transition. Whether discussing his connection with his partner, Amy, their decision to start a family, or his hopes for the future, Eric's narrative is a compelling reminder of the depth of the parenting journey.

We wrap up with a look ahead, promising to revisit Eric and Amy's story as they cross into the new territory of parenthood. Their adventure is just beginning, and we can't wait to see where it leads them.

Join us for an episode filled with heartfelt stories, laughter, and the kind of honest conversation that connects us all. Here's to the journeys that define us and the futures we build together. See you on the next episode!

If you've ever heard a parent sing a silly song and wondered why they'd make up silly songs, then clearly there isn't any joy in your life.  Erica found  her memory of songs we'd sing little guy fading from memory.  So what better way if memorializing dinky tunes than putting them on our podcast. 

If you get an earworm, don't blame us, you've been warned. 

Enjoy!

In this episode I have a conversation with my friend Zarko, who learned he and his partner were expecting a child.  You'll get to hear Zarko consider his upcoming role as a future dad in the first trimester, in the third trimester, and once he comes up for air, in the fourth trimester. 

This one way we thought of capturing his thoughts as they evolved over the duration of the pregnancy, to see the kind of growth and the considerations he'd have as a future dad awaiting his first child. 

As always, feel free to share this with other future dads you may know.

In part 1, Erica shares her birth experience. I challenge her to dig a little deeper, because I know what she experienced wasn't as simple as she made it sound. Have a listen, and as always, feel free to share this podcast with a friend you think might appreciate knowing they're not alone.

In this episode, my partner shares her side of the story. I've split it into 4 parts to make what is an emotional and demanding day a little lighter yet relatable for you. If you're a future dad, I encourage you to have a listen with your partner. 

We hope our story gives you something worthwhile to discuss, or highlights insights to explore.
