Resilient Dad Show

Resilient Dad Show

Welcome to the Resilient Dad Show. I am creating the show that I so badly needed, and wish was available especially during the grueling and challenging times of working through my own experience. The show will feature industry experts who can share their knowledge and insights to help educate and inspire you to navigate through the journey and suggest strategies that you can use to help you overcome the obstacles commonly faced as a single father co-parenting after separation. I'm going to bring in resilient dad role models to share their experiences of overcoming incredible obstacles that you can relate to with your challenges of being a single dad. To show what’s possible and inspire you to have vision for the life you and your kids deserve after separation. With resilience, - Pat
