E52 - The Four Step Process to Find Rest as a Dad - Lessons from an Electric Car and Recharging Your Battery

The importance of rest for dads, condensed into a 4-step process:


Recognize the need for balance: Understand that balance is essential for overall well-being and effective parenting. Acknowledge the importance of rest as a key component of achieving balance.


Prioritize self-care: Make self-care, including rest, a top priority. Set boundaries between work, family, and personal time to ensure dedicated periods for rest and rejuvenation.


Seek support and delegate: Don't hesitate to ask for help from your partner, family members, or friends. Delegate parenting tasks and responsibilities, allowing you to have more time for rest and relaxation.


Practice intentional rest: Engage in activities that genuinely help you unwind and recharge. Schedule regular downtime, pursue hobbies or activities that bring you joy, and embrace moments of relaxation without feeling guilty.



By following these four steps, dads can gradually establish a healthier balance in their lives. Prioritizing rest enables them to effectively meet the demands of parenting while also taking care of their own well-being.

E51 - My Appearance on The Take Back Your Life Podcast with David Price - I Share My Dad Story and The Joys and Challenges of an Empty Nest



I don't often have the opportunity to guest on another podcast, so when David asked me to join him on his show, I jumped over from the driver's seat into the passenger seat to join David on the Take Back Your Life Podcast - we had a great Dad chat, I was able to share more about my Dad journey, some insights from what my Dad taught me, my love for driving standard/manual t6 speed car and how that skill relates to being a good Dad.



Get a different look into my journey, and I am happy to share this with you! Check out David and all the great things he is doing to help Men in his community!

EPISODE 48 - James MacDonald - Advice For First Time Dads and The Dad Mind Matters Podcast


About James Macdonald
I am James Macdonald and 5 years ago, I was stressed and overwhelmed at my role as a husband and (exhausted) father of 3, not really knowing how to be the best man I could be.

Many years, pitfalls and enough flat whites to sink a battleship later, I’m a lot happier and confident and on a mission to help other dads be the best family man they can be without losing their minds.

First Time Dad is for the new(ish) dads who feel totally overwhelmed at their new responsibility and feel like their mental health is on a slow and silent decline.

Book: First Time Dad: The 42-Week Guide For Men To Help Your Partner Have A Calm & Confident Pregnancy

If you want to effectively support your partner during pregnancy, and strengthen your relationship and mental health, keep reading...

If you're going to be a dad, congratulations, that's awesome!

That said, if you worry about this life-changing experience negatively affecting your mental health, you'd be right to. Recent statistics show that up to 50% of all new dads experience depression if their partner gets postnatal depression.

Are you concerned your little blessing might drive a baby-shaped wedge between you? Then your spidey senses are on the money because studies show that dads are three times more likely to die after a relationship breakdown than women.

Are you anxious that the general stress of family life might damage your mental health? This is a justified concern as suicide is the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK. If any of these concerns resonate with you, don't worry; you're in safe, albeit slightly weathered, hands. James Macdonald is a happy and mostly calm dad of three.

In First Time Dad you’ll learn:

Week-to-week explanations of what’s happening for your baby and inside your partner
How to be a big help, not a major hindrance, during the delivery
How to help your partner get physically fit and ready for birth
What to expect at your 12 and 20-week scans
How to keep her & your sense of humor during those high-pressure moments
How to mentally prepare for the birth if you're squeamish
What to do when you need reassurance but don't want to burden her
Advice on having sex and maintaining intimacy throughout pregnancy
How to keep calm when all hell is breaking loose
What a birth plan is and how to prepare one
What nesting is and how to use it to your advantage
What you can do to develop, strengthen and prepare your mental health for the big day and beyond it
What you need to do & say to ensure everyone’s mental health remains intact
Road-tested survival tips for dads to ensure you don't continue to put your foot in it
If you're ready to start the journey from knee-trembling novice to a contender for dad of the year and maybe prove your mother-in-law massively wrong
