Parenting Tips: Young Dad Podcast

I cannot say enough great things about Art Eddy, the host of The Art of Fatherhood podcast. Art is such a good dude, and sitting and talking with a guy who consistently interviews A-list fathers throughout pop culture, sports, and the business landscape is incredible. I was very blessed to have a great chat with him.

Art talks to dads about their fatherhood journey to learn what it's like from all walks of life. We all aren't that different in the end. We talked about being there for your family and how to show up and be present. We chatted about how listening and empathizing with our children is crucial to help them grow and learn in this life. Lastly, well, not 100%. Lastly, there was a lot in this show. We talked about how we can follow our gut as a dad. There are so many amazing nuggets in this show, and it's incredible; you will want to get comfy for this one.

Part-6 of the WBDD, and we start by referencing piece number 2; if you recall, it was small steps. We threw out every notion of a magic pill, formula, and idea of an overnight change and quick fixes. What were doing with the WBDD is that we are finding tools, whether new or used, filling our tool bag up with them, and using them long-term. Today, we talk about some things we can do to help achieve that long-term mindset, which is a life-long mindset that helps us continue to use these tools to the best of our abilities for as long as we can use them. 

We are so happy to promote the Well-Balanced Dad Diet; these are coming out during season 3 as BONUS content! You will want to jump on the WBDD train! You can check that out here on the site: https://www.ballboymedia.com/theballboyblog/categories/well-balanced-dad-diet

Life looks very different when you're a Stay at Home Dad or a S.A.H.D.. You can have feelings of a societal letdown, being left behind, and not living up to the expectations of being a man. We talk about life after a miscarriage for a dad, support groups for dads, dad groups, At Home Dad Con, and much more. 

Brock grew up in Huntington, IN, and has lived in Cincinnati, Ohio, for the last 20+ years. Brock has been married for just over 16 years to your wife and two kids: a boy and a girl, one just finished 4th grade and one 1st grade; he is active in his church and Christian, and he organized and continues to run a dads group locally that has weekly and monthly hangouts, and is also a semi-avid cyclist as his schedule allows him to be. 

What does it mean to be a dad to Brock? It means I have two mirrors walking around me, showing my insecurities and pushing me to be the best dad I can be, but they know I am not perfect, which makes life easier to be a parent.

When you woke up this morning, you got out of bed, let the dog out, went to the bathroom, and then looked in the mirror. Did you recognize the person looking back at you? Are you happy with the person that's looking back at you? I want to know, are you not forgiving yourself? Do you feel like you've lost sight of yourself, you don't have passions, that you're not enough, and you might even feel like you're not doing your best or even a good job? Lastly, how full are you if you were a cup of water? The likely answer is that if you're a parent and specifically a dad, it might be pretty empty, and you might not have anything to pour in your partner, kids, co-workers, or those you interact with daily cups because you're so empty and need a refill.

We could have talked about coaching the whole time, but we didn't, and we got into why you show up week after week after week. This week on the Young Dad Podcast, we welcome a friend of the show, Toby, aka The Good Bad Dad. Toby brings experience with kids from 17-7, adoption, biological children, sports, parenting in today's world, and much more. It was such a pleasure for him to embark his wisdom and knowledge on me and for all of you to hear and enjoy this week. I want to listen to this a couple of times.

You and I talk all day, every day. We talk to friends, family, partners, and kids at work, school, or whatever we do; we constantly use language in some form. Tone, diction, word choice, and how we say something are just as important as what those words mean. With it being 2023, parts of the language aren't used anymore, a new language has been introduced, and there are literal fights over language daily. However, when we consciously choose to use the language that will have the most impact, we are no longer talking but communicating.

Erin and Jey talk about all sorts of things regarding divorce, what it might look like, and deep dive into what life after divorce looks like, from being forgotten by friends to swinging endlessly, single parenting, and much more. If you're divorced, buckle up. This episode is in your wheelhouse; it's excellent!

First, let me ask: where does your self-perception lay? Where are your expectations of your kids, where are your partner's expectations, where is your job's expectation, and where are your hobbies/interests? Where are the expectations of all other things you attach an expectation to? Are they too high, too low, or right where they need to be, or do they not need to be there?
