In this brutally honest solo episode of The Unhinged Father, Robbie returns from a brief hiatus to get real about the chaos of modern life, parenting, and the overwhelming pressure to keep up with social media perfection. From dad life to gym struggles, from toxic positivity to unrealistic influencer expectations—this episode is a raw, unfiltered reminder that life is hard, and that’s okay.

Robbie unpacks the frustrating world of parenting influencers, fitness gurus, and the growing trend of “toxic responsibility.” He calls out the lies we’re fed online—those 10-second highlight reels that leave the rest of us feeling like failures—and makes the case for something more valuable: relentless effort, grace, and the unglamorous hustle of real growth.

Whether you’re a tired parent, a millennial dad trying to get your life together, or someone drowning in the noise of social media expectations, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone—and that trying (and failing) still counts.

Topics covered:

  • Why influencer culture is lying to you
  • The myth of balance and perfection
  • Real talk on parenting, weight loss, and adulting
  • Grace vs. giving up: how to keep going when you’re falling short
  • The difference between fake motivation and authentic growth
