    005: Where's My Village? (Season 1 Finale)

    In the Season 1 finale, we reflect on potentially one of the biggest turning points in a father’s mental health journey: finding other dads who can empathize with the struggles of being a dad in this new era of fatherhood. We discuss why loneliness has become so common for dads, why asking for support is so difficult, and how genuine connection can shape how we parent, partner, and show up for ourselves. If you’ve ever felt alone in this journey, take this as your invitation to find your village.

    004: Why Am I So Angry?

    In this episode, we explore why dads get angry. Anger is often the emotion we can see, not actually the one we’re feeling. We’ll explore the pressures many dads carry and how stress, exhaustion, and shame can show up disguised as frustration. The goal isn’t to eliminate anger, but rather to explore what it is trying to tell us.

    003: Am I Becoming My Father?

    In this episode, we explore the parenting "blueprint" handed to us by our parents, including the habits, believes, and behaviors we carry into raising our own children. We'll talk about the qualities we're proud to pass on, the cycles we're trying to break, and why becoming a father often forces us to revisit our own childhood.

    002: Why Don't We Talk About Dad's Mental Health?

    In this episode, we explore why conversations about dads' mental health can be so difficult. We'll unpack the stigma around men's mental health, the pressure to supress emotions, and "man up" when life gets tough. Together, we'll challenge the idea that vulnerability is weakness and reframe mental wellness as an essential part of taking care of ourselves.

    001: Who Am I Now?

    Welcome to the 1st episode of Dad, Interrupted. No one talks about the identity shift that occurs when you become a dad. We'll discuss why this shift occurs and touch on the grieving process that takes place as you learn to embrace your new role, while trying to maintain the foundation of who you are as an individual.
