In this powerful and timely episode, we’re diving into the evolution of fatherhood—how the role of dads has shifted from distant provider to present, emotionally available parent—and what that means for families today.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What modern fatherhood looks like and how it's changing across generations
  • Why many dads want to show up differently, but aren't always sure how
  • The emotional & societal pressures men face when stepping into this new role
  • Ways we (mothers/partners) can offer/show support without necessarily micromanaging or judging
  • How to encourage teamwork, co-parenting, and mutual respect in parenting dynamics

Whether you’re parenting with a partner, co-parenting, or just curious about how family roles are shifting, this episode offers fresh insights and compassionate guidance.

Let's keep the conversation going:
