Modern Dadhood | Unpacking Fatherhood + Parenting for Dads (and Moms!)

A Breadwinner's Balancing Act | Keith Belanger on Balance, Mindfulness, Fatherhood


Listen Later

Raise your hand if you’re sort of done with the buzz phrase work/life balance? Same. As parents, the balance that we strike every day goes far more granular than just “work” and “life.” Stress, mindfulness, nourishment, sleep, play, relationships, role modeling, mental health, social life… that’s a challenging equilibrium! And when you don’t put in the work to keep this balance in check, it can easily slip out of whack. Dad of three and early adopter of Modern Dadhood, Keith Belanger, joins us to discuss that balancing act. Don’t drop off before the “Piano Man” challenge, and a ROFLMAO-worthy new segment Kisses & Disses.


Episode 73 of Modern Dadhood opens with some laughter about  the hosts' inability to grow real facial hair, and a brief back-to-school catch up. The guys quickly welcome Keith  Belanger into chat. Keith divides his time between managing operations for a transportation company and entertaining crowds from behind a piano. And when he's not doing those things, he's a devoted husband  and a father of three young boys. Keith speaks candidly about how he balances the various aspects  of his personal life and professional life in a single income family. Keith also  shares about his history as a Modern Dadhood listener, learning of the show very early on. At the end of the chat, things get bit playful when Marc quizzes Keith on  Billy Joel lyrics.

Don't skip out  before the end... we debut a new segment (complete with a theme song from Adam's eight-year-old) called Kisses & Disses.
