Ep 167: My journey through fatherhood | A special Father's Day message

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads! In this special solo episode, Julien offers a heartfelt and inspiring look into the actual experience of fatherhood. He gives a refreshing perspective on fatherhood and opens up about his own journey, sharing a powerful message of presence, growth, and the role of a dad.

Julien takes us on a personal exploration, revealing he wasn't always the father he is today. He describes a past "oblivious" phase where fatherhood wasn't even on his radar, and gets real about the whole “I thought I could plan for this thing” (spoiler alert: you can’t)

Julien also explores moving beyond traditional notions of being just a provider, sharing how his journey into fatherhood has led him to confront his own limitations and learn the importance of embracing the present. He talks about how he actively strives to be a role model, coach, confidante, and even a punching bag for his son. He’s honest about the challenges, but there’s a real sense of joy and wonder in his voice when he talks about constantly evolving as a dad.

If you're a dad, or even thinking about becoming one, this is the episode for you. It's a reminder that being present, being there for your kid, even in the messy, crazy, exhausting moments is the real gift
