May 21, 2025Episode 28-2: Type C Parenting - Calm, Connected, and Conscious
This week’s Dad Life episode dives into the world of parenting styles, and in particular, we’re unpacking the growing interest in what’s being called Type C Parenting.
You’ve probably heard of Type A parents—highly structured, achievement-driven, and often a bit intense with routines and expectations. Then there’s Type B—more laid-back, go-with-the-flow, and relaxed in their approach.
But Type C? That’s something different.
Type C Parenting is all about connection over control. It’s a balanced approach that focuses on:
Emotional regulation (for parents and kids)

Open communication

Empathy and respect

Intentional boundaries without harsh discipline

And guiding rather than pushing our kids through life

We discuss what this parenting style looks like in the real world, how it’s helped us in our own homes, and the ways it encourages long-term emotional resilience for our children.
If you’re looking for a more conscious, calm, and compassionate way to parent, or you’re just curious about different parenting approaches, this one’s for you.

May 14, 2025Episode 27-2: Battling the Inner Critic – A Dad’s Guide to Self-Doubt
This week’s Dad Life episode gets a little deeper as Sean and Nick open up about something many dads silently struggle with — the inner critic. That nagging voice that tells us we’re not doing enough, not good enough, or just failing at this whole parenting thing.
We share simple daily practices to help quiet the noise:
Naming your inner critic and learning to talk back

Celebrating small wins to build real confidence

Journaling like your own coach

Flipping the “what if I fail?” mindset

Surrounding yourself with real support

And embracing the fact that we’re all a work in progress

If you’ve ever doubted yourself as a dad, partner, or person — this episode is for you. Join us for honest talk, practical advice, and a reminder that you’re doing better than you think.

May 05, 2025 Episode 26-1: Pneumonia, Ingrown Toenails & Switch 2s
This week on the Everyday Life episode of Dad Crossing, Sean and Nick shoot the breeze like only two everyday dads can.
We chat about Nick securing not one but two Nintendo Switch 2 consoles (don’t worry – one’s for a good cause!), Noah battling pneumonia after weeks of coughing, and Aerial crushing it in her regional soccer match.
On Sean’s side: Logan’s ingrown toenail led to some unexpected at-home surgery (yep, lanced it myself), a birthday meal for Emily featuring far too many bao buns, and a return to cold water therapy with double gym sessions and an ice bath splash.
Come hang out with us for parenting stories, health updates, gaming talk, and our usual dose of laughs and honesty.

April 30, 2025 Episode 25-2: Standardized Testing – Stress, Prep, and Perspective
This week’s Dad Life episode dives into standardized testing for kids in both the UK and US — what these tests really mean, how we can prepare our children for them, and the impact they can have on kids and home life.

April 23, 2025 Episode 24-2: Recreational Safety – Keeping Our Kiddos Safe Outdoors
This week’s Dad Life episode is all about Recreational Safety—because with spring sunshine finally here and the kids off school, it’s time to get outside… safely!
Nick’s crew have been tearing it up on their bikes 🚲 while Sean’s little daredevil has been pushing limits at the skate park 🛹 (much to Sean’s rising anxiety). So naturally, this sparked a conversation on how we, as dads, manage and talk about outdoor safety with our kids.
From bike helmets and scooter crashes to climbing trees, open water risks, and even revisiting the all-important stranger danger chat—we’re covering all the ways we try to keep our kids safe while still letting them explore and have fun.
So grab your helmet and join us for some real talk on balancing adventure and safety in this week’s episode!
