Being A Dad...On Purpose

In this episode, I discuss a study from 2019 that shared many dads feel like they can't do a good job as a dad. Well, I'm here to encourage you and let you know that: YOU CAN DO THIS! Enjoy the discussion.

In this short episode, I just want to give an idea of what my plans are for the Being A Dad...On Purpose Podcast. Some big plans. Hope you'll join me and invite some others to come along!

In this episode, I have a conversation with Jim Uren, a Certified Financial Planner Professional with Phase III Advisory Services out of Buffalo Grove, IL.

Jim shares some fantastic information on creating and keeping a healthy budget. 

Happy New Year! In this episode, I talk about setting goals as a dad. Why are they important? What benefits can you receive from it? Why will your kids benefit from it? Goals are essential, but we have to make them in a healthy way. Enjoy the episode! Leave some feedback.

In this episode I share from an article written in 2018 about fighting fair. We need to have boundaries and protect ourselves when it comes to arguments. We also have to protect our partner. We cannot be too mean, angry, harsh, etc. We have to practice fair fighting. You can read the article here.

In this episode, I am able to speak with Mike Reynolds about his co-parenting story. He shares how he and his ex-wife were able to support each other and continue being parents together for their two daughters. It is a great conversation around successful co-parenting. 

In this episode I talk about traditions. Why are they important? How are we encouraging traditions in the lives of our children? I ask you to share some of your traditions. You can do that on our Facebook group page or follow us on twitter @beadadonpurpose and share your traditions.

In this episode I share some insight on the value of giving thanks, why we should demonstrate thanks-giving with our children, and some practices to encourage gratitude with our kids. I hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode I talk about manhood. What have we been taught manhood actually is? Hw has our idea of masculinity influenced the way we parent? How should we bee defining, or redefining, being a man, for the sake of our children and our own health? I hope to tackle some of the answers in this episode today. I hope you enjoy it!

In this episode I talk about the value and pain of being self-aware. Self-Awareness is defined as "having conscious knowledge of one's own character and feelings." The reality is, we need to be aware of what triggers us in our character flaws. We need to know how to respond to the issues we carry. Everyone has baggage, some of us just know how to carry it better. It's important for us to work through the issues and be aware of what causes us to think or act certain ways. I hope this is an encouraging episode, and it's a topic we will be revisiting again in the near future.
