It’s 4 a.m. I’m pacing around the house with my newborn daughter in my arms, AirPods in, and just reflecting—on fatherhood, partnership, and the quiet ways patriarchy shows up in our lives.

In this intimate, unfiltered episode, I open up about becoming a dad, what labor and delivery taught me about gender roles, and why I’ve been choosing to spend less time podcasting and more time being present for my wife and baby girl. I talk about how parenting has revealed the low expectations placed on fathers, how emotional labor is distributed in most family systems, and why raising a daughter who sees gentleness and presence as strength is its own form of resistance.

I also explore a question I’ve been sitting with: Why do we often center boys when we talk about resisting patriarchy? What does it mean to raise girls to unlearn it too?
