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 parenting advice as much as it’s about finding connection with other parents (no matter your gender, sexual orientation or cultural background) 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.
