Episode 02 – Greg Coote raises a daughter alone after tragedy

Raising daughters is not for the faint of heart. It is for the patient, the confused, and the guys who just stepped on a glitter-covered Lego at midnight.  Welcome to the DODO Dads podcast, where dads of daughters come to laugh, learn and occasionally wonder how they became the emotional support human for a tiny person with big opinions and insatiable appetite for spending your money.  This podcast is equal parts humor, honesty and survival guide for men navigating life with girls.   From tea parties and eye rolls to big life conversations and everything in between, we cover what it really takes to be a present, engaged and slightly bewildered girl dad.  Each episode features real conversations with dads who are in the trenches, have survived the teen years, or are trying to figure out what just happened.   We talk about relationships, communication, confidence, and how to show up as the dad your daughter needs, even when you have no idea what you are doing.
