- Episode 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.

41 min - Episode 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.

This week on the Everyday Life episode of Dad Crossing, Sean and Nick shoot the breeze like only two everyday dads can.

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.

39 min - 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.
We share our own experiences with testing as kids, how we’ve helped our children face exam season, and discuss a big question: are these tests really measuring the students — or the schools?
If you're a parent navigating SATs, state tests, or any form of academic assessments, this is an episode packed with real talk, advice, and a little humor to help lighten the load.
Come listen and feel a little less alone during test season!

40 min - 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!
