  • #53 Dad's Health Matters: Prioritizing Physical, Mental, and Emotional Wellbeing To Reduce Stress

    On this episode of The Dad Central Show, Drew Soleyn and Ed Gough Jr. discuss various aspects of wellness and self-care for dads. They start by acknowledging the demands and responsibilities that can pull dads in different directions, making it challenging to prioritize physical activity and exercise. However, they stress the importance of investing in oneself to avoid frustration and strained relationships.

    They discuss the factors that prevent men or dads from prioritizing self-care and express their passion for fathers taking care of their health to be there for their children and families. The hosts express concern about fathers not regularly seeing doctors and potentially missing serious health issues.

    The hosts also discuss the concept of creating margin and quiet space in our lives to prevent overwhelming daily demands. They highlight the challenge of transitioning from work mode to dad mode and the importance of intentional practices or mindsets to separate the two. They share stories of individuals who struggled with emotional connections due to a lack of transition between work and home life. Furthermore, Drew and Ed emphasize the significance of self-care practices for dads. They suggest taking 15 minutes each day to do nothing and finding moments of relaxation, such as sitting on the veranda. They share a success story of a listener who implemented a peaceful routine and found significant improvements in their life.

    Drew and Ed introduce Dad Mentor, a new fatherhood community created by Dad Central. Dad Mentor aims to provide dedicated support for dads' specific needs, offering resources such as the Dad's roadmap, monthly master classes and Q&A sessions with experts, group meetups, a dad's resource library, and exclusive offers and events.

  • #52 Embracing Masculinity and Love During Fatherhood: Insights from Anthony Palmer, Host of Wake.Dad.Drink.Repeat

    On this episode of The Dad Central Show, we sit down with Anthony Palmer, the creator of Wake.Dad.Drink.Repeat, a podcast that challenges unfair stereotypes and discusses the experiences of fathers. Anthony believes in embracing both traditional masculine roles, such as being a leader and provider, as well as displaying gentleness and love. Being primarily at home with his kids while his wife is the main provider, Anthony shares the struggles he faces balancing his professional career and spending time with his children.

    Through therapy and conversations with other dads, Anthony has gained valuable insights and perspectives on fatherhood, from those with newborns to grandparents. He opens up about adopting his daughter and later having a biological son, which resulted in a significant age gap between the two children. As his son prepares to start kindergarten, Anthony reflects on this chapter of his life coming to an end, prompting him to make the most of his time with his children during the summer before they start school.

    Anthony shares his decision to take Fridays off during the summer to spend quality time with his kids, highlighting the positive impact it has had on his family. He acknowledges the challenges of finding a balance between family and work responsibilities but emphasizes the importance of being present in the moments with his children.

    Finally Anthony, Ed and Drew share a common sentiment about the value of hosting meaningful conversations for their listeners by discussing topics that are not typically talked about, such as miscarriages and IVF. They believe in normalizing conversations about fatherhood and creating a safe space for dads to express their emotions and struggles.

    Tune in to this episode of The Dad Central Show to hear Anthony Palmer share his personal journey as a father, his experiences with adoption, and his commitment to challenging stereotypes and normalizing conversations about fatherhood.
