Episode 192: The Dad Awakening—Realizing You’re Not in Your Twenties Anymore

Dads, it’s time for a reality check—you're not 21 anymore, and your back probably reminded you of that this morning! In this episode of the Top Dad Podcast, we're diving into the bittersweet realization that we’re not as young as we used to be. From creaky joints to realizing you’ve become the guy who complains about loud music, we’re here to help you navigate this new phase of dad life with a smile (and maybe a groan or two).

We’ll share stories of our own “I’m not as young as I thought” moments, and offer tips on how to embrace the wisdom (and the occasional ibuprofen) that comes with getting older. Spoiler alert: it’s not all bad news—there’s something pretty cool about being the wise, seasoned dad who still knows how to have fun.

Show Notes:

  • The telltale signs that you’re officially out of your twenties—hint: it’s not just the gray hairs.
  • How to cope with the physical changes that come with aging, without losing your sense of humor.
  • Embracing the perks of being an “older” dad—because with age comes a whole lot of dad wisdom.
  • Tips for staying active, healthy, and feeling young at heart, even if your knees disagree.
  • Why being a dad in your thirties (and beyond) is still pretty awesome.

Join us for some laughs, a few groans, and a whole lot of dad truths as we come to terms with aging like a fine (or maybe not-so-fine) wine. Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with your fellow dads who are feeling the aches and pains of fatherhood!
