In this episode of Key to the Bridge, host Dr. Erica Bosque sits down with two fathers to talk honestly about what it means to learn fatherhood in real time. Ryan Terschuren, a Physical Education instructor and father of four, and Richard Gonzalez, a Support Specialist at Keystone and new father, share their lived experiences of becoming dads, navigating expectations, emotional labor, partnership, sacrifice, and the often unspoken pressures men carry in parenting roles. This conversation centers fathers not as helpers, but as deeply involved partners and caregivers, exploring how culture, upbringing, and systems shape the fatherhood experience and why space for dads to talk, reflect, and be supported truly matters.
