Happy New Year! In this episode, Eric, Ryan, and Vern share their 2026 resolutions as dads.

There's something special about New Year's Day conversations—the kind where you're honest about who you want to become. Eric's learning that taking care of himself isn't selfish—it's necessary. Vern's navigating the overwhelming world of home ownership. Ryan's discovering that his daughter's silly, imaginative spirit is teaching him as much as he's teaching her. Along the way, they explore how our kids absorb everything—our anxieties, our habits, even our greetings—and how that awareness can make us better parents.

Whether you're figuring out your child's interests, managing winter break chaos, or just trying to show up as your best self, this conversation will remind you: we're all learning as we go, and that's okay.

Hit subscribe and follow along as these three try to become better versions of themselves. Drop us a DM on Instagram @helladadlifepod with your own New Year's resolutions—bonus points if they involve finally cleaning your dryer vent. Let's figure this out together.
