DILF (Dad I'd Like To Friend)

Becoming a parent is one of life’s greatest gifts, yet it can also be stressful, exhausting, and extremely isolating... but YOU ARE NOT ALONE. This podcast was built on the belief that the best way to build community is by digging in and getting honest with ourselves. This is not a place for advice as much as it’s about finding connection with other parents (no matter your gender) who know exactly what you’re going through. Yes, this is a parenting podcast; and while we do discuss issues that revolve around life with kids, we focus more on the life of a human... who happens to be a parent, and how to balance the multitude of hats we wear on a daily basis while attempting to be the best version of ourselves for our partner, our children, and our own personal well-being. // DILF is a top parenting podcast which has broken into Apple's Top 50 Parenting Podcast charts around the world, while recently hitting #6 on the US charts :: To join in on the conversation, find us on Instagram @DILFpodcast // Hosted on Acast.

    When Mom Becomes Dad (DILF RePlay Series)

    It’s no secret that the world treats men and women very differently… and the same goes for moms and dads; however, truly comprehending what it’s like for the opposite sex is no easy task. In this DILF Replay, Kevin welcomes Nick North — a trans man with the rare experience of living life as both dad and mom. After giving birth to four children, Nick decided that he was tired of living a lie and began his journey transitioning to Dad. His journey is not only fascinating, but also an eye-opening lesson in the realities of gender bias that most of us face on a daily basis. So much more than a trans story, this is Nick North's tale of bravery — an eye-opening interview that proves that the formula for being an amazing parent is simply living your truth while continuing to show up each and every day... with love.  / Episode Resources:: If you know someone who might be struggling with their gender identity - https://wethenorths.com/journal/signs-kid-struggling-with-gender-identity / DILF's Empowerment episode - https://pod.fo/e/f4e64 / THE POWER by Naomi Alderman - https://amzn.to/3IV99Ve // If this episode was helpful to you in any way, please consider sharing it with others or writing a REVIEW ...and help us to reach more like-minded parents in need of support!  / For more information on DILF, visit us at DadIdLikeToFriend.com  // For questions, comments, or future topic suggestions, DM us on Instagram -> @DILFpodcast  Hosted on Acast.

    Acknowledgement (DILF's Co-Parenting Series) - DILF RePlay

    In preparation for our upcoming third season, we're excited to present another episode favorite in our DILF RePlay Series: In the first of DILF’s popular CoParenting Series, Host Kevin Seldon invites his brave wife on the pod… mid-arguement, after finding themselves in the middle of a fight that seemed all too familiar. They soon realized that WHAT they were actually arguing about had nothing to do with the situation before them. In fact, they were each simply angry about other unresolved issues in their relationship and using this random argument to vent frustrations without actually addressing the true issue at hand... and it was beginning to impact the environment in which they raised their child. They found themselves in a vicious cycle... and it wasn't about a lack of love, it was remnants from past feelings that had yet to be resolved and simply lingered silently, growing momentum within them in a way that could slowly poison any relationship, but especially dangerous for the often strained relationship between co-parents. / To hear other episodes from DILF’s Co-Parenting Series: s1, ep7: CONNECTION - https://pod.fo/e/20a2as1, ep15: BOUNDARIES - https://pod.fo/e/27fb1s2, ep5: REBUILDING CONNECTIONS - https://pod.fo/e/d6ccbs2, ep13: THE CURSE OF MARTYRDOM - https://pod.fo/e/f4e64 // If this episode was helpful to you in any way, please consider sharing it with others or writing a REVIEW ...and help us to reach more like-minded parents in need of support!  / For more information on DILF, visit us at DadIdLikeToFriend.com  // For questions, comments, or future topic suggestions, DM us on Instagram -> @DILFpodcast  *DILF is a proud founding partner of ALL PARENTS WELCOME: a nonprofit coalition of parents working to create more support and inclusivity within parenting culture > to join us, visit https://join.apw.ngo Hosted on Acast.

    Celebrating Imperfections | Dad, How Do I (DILF RePlay Series)

    In April of 2020, a father of two decided to launch a YouTube channel to offer some friendly "DADvice" to those in need — advice he sorely lacked growing up after his own father left him and his seven siblings when he was only 14 years old. That Youtube channel is called DAD, HOW DO I and in under three months it has amassed over 2.4 million subscribers.  In this DILF Replay, Kevin sits down with Rob Kenney, the dad behind DAD HOW DO I, for a heart-to-heart with the international sensation one fan referred to as “not the internet dad, but rather the internet’s dad.” Together, they discuss everything from celebrating our imperfections, the importance of being vulnerable in front of our kids, and how to prevent past mistakes from corrupting our present.  / For More on ROB + DAD, HOW DO I = YouTube :: Interview on The TODAY Show //  // If this episode was helpful to you in any way, please consider sharing it with others or writing a REVIEW ...and help us to reach more like-minded parents in need of support!  / For more information on DILF, visit us at DadIdLikeToFriend.com  // For questions, comments, or future topic suggestions, DM us on Instagram -> @DILFpodcast  // DILF is a proud founding partner of ALL PARENTS WELCOME: a nonprofit coalition of parents working to create more support and inclusivity within parenting culture - to join us, visit https://join.apw.ngo Hosted on Acast.
