In this episode, I’m talking straight to the soon-to-be dads—and anyone who remembers that unforgettable moment when you first held your child. I share what it’s really like to hold your baby for the very first time—the rush of emotions, the fears, the awe, and even the doubts that no one warns you about. Whether you’re counting down the days or looking back years later, this episode is all about being present, letting yourself feel it all, and realizing that love doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful. If you’re about to step into this moment, or you’re reflecting on your own, I hope my words remind you that every feeling is valid, and that presence is the greatest gift you can give.
