In this episode of Fatherhood Forward, we dive into the big question: “Are We Ready for Another Child?” Joined by our guest and friend, Jordan, we share candid reflections on the unique challenges, joys, and lessons that come with raising multiple children. From balancing time and energy to managing sibling dynamics and supporting our partners, we unpack what it means to be prepared (or unprepared!) to expand our families.

We each have different age gaps between our kids—Corey with a three-year gap, Jordan with five years, and Jahi with only 15 months. In this conversation, we explore how these differences impact family life and our experiences as dads. We talk openly about time management struggles, the importance of setting aside time for each child, and how tools like Google Calendar are helping us find balance.

Tune in as we share laughs, honest moments, and lessons learned on the journey of fatherhood. Whether you're a new parent, thinking about having more kids, or simply navigating the everyday chaos of raising a family, this episode has something for you.
