The Daily Dad Reset Podcast

Welcome to another episode of The Daily Dad Reset Podcast…

one-take garage talk for dads trying to stay present, regulate under pressure, and lead their families a little better than last time.

This week’s podcast brings together four articles about something I’m learning I need: a pause.

What started with taking one minute to breathe before snapping at someone I love grew into phone-free walks, a protected family evening, and an attempt at a day of rest—with four boys and laundry that apparently wasn’t going to fold itself.

In this episode, I talk about how even helpful content can steal our quiet, why being constantly together doesn’t always mean feeling connected, and how my desire to give the boys every opportunity can leave us all hurried.

And yes, my recovering perfectionist brain would love to turn rest into another project.

Real stories. Practical resets

Welcome to another episode of The Daily Dad Reset Podcast…

one-take garage talk for dads trying to stay present, regulate under pressure, and lead their families a little better than last time.

This week’s podcast started as a reflection of the Dad Coach Series. A proactive series that I wrote before Little League season started but found myself reading as the season progressed as a reminder of the Dad Coach that I wanted to be.

In this episode I talk about the importance of the Dad Coach, how seasons are really measured, and the powerful relationship building opportunity we have with our own kids before the season ends for the last time.

This week’s reset started when my plan around taking my perfectly crafted recovery drink immediately after my workout was delayed by a three year old inviting me to taste his slobbery dum-dum.

What created a pause for me, created a feeling of rejection for him.

In this episode I talk about toddler interruptions during our focus on productivity, showing up with intention, and some of the things that people don’t tell you when you become a dad.

This week’s reset started when my perfectly planned trip to Costco quickly turned into a roller coaster ride of snack negotiations, losing a kid, and trying to hold it together so strangers don’t call the police.

What started as a way to continue our journey of keeping our kids interested in cooking turned into a very ambitious decision to take all 4 boys to Costco.

In this episode I talk about imaginary worlds, America Ninja Warrior, and how including your kids into planning something can increase their joy while increasing my stress.

one-take garage talk for dads trying to stay present, regulate under pressure, and lead their families a little better than last time.

This week’s reset started when my 4 year old wanted nothing more to watch the bridies with me while I wanted nothing more that to go get my garage workout in.

What started as a way to keep the entire house asleep so that a 4 year old tornado doesn’t wake everyone up quickly became the very moment my nervous system needed to reset and down regulate.

In this episode I talk about mindfulness, working-out, and how being present in nature with my 4 year old is one of the best resets a dad could ever ask for.

Welcome to the second episode of The Daily Dad Reset Podcast…

one-take garage talk for dads trying to stay present, regulate under pressure, and lead their families a little better than last time.

This week’s reset started when my kids were struggling to not end every night with a Royal Rumble match in their bedroom.

What started as a way to prevent raising the energy at bed time, preventing everyone form going to bed, quickly became a night time practice that rewired our brains.

In this episode I talk about wrestling, farting, teeth grinding, and how being grateful might just be the way to land the plan during bedtime.

Welcome to the first episode of The Daily Dad Reset Podcast…

This week’s reset started when my kids stopped asking me to play Mario Kart.

What started as family fun slowly turned into Dad dominating Rainbow Road like a blue-shell tyrant.

In this episode I talk about competition, connection, resilience, and why racing as Baby Peach in a pink scooter may have accidentally made me a better dad.
