Mike aka Dad Rap joins Girl Dad Nation to share how fatherhood has changed his mindset, his music, and his mission. With honesty and humor, Mike reflects on parenting in his 40s, learning to regulate emotions, and letting go of the illusion of control. He opens up about balancing work, creative passion, and being fully present for his kids.
We talk about:
- What tantrums teach us about ourselves
- Giving kids space to just be
- How rap became his creative outlet
- The inspiration behind his new album The Midlife Crisis EP (out now!)
- The power of grace, daily progress, and proud dad moments
Whether you’re a parent chasing dreams, trying to stay patient, or simply figuring out how to be more present — this conversation hits home.
🎧 Stay tuned to the very end for a bonus track sample from the new album!
