On this episode we have on Jon Hord from the Engaged Father Project 

We talked about having a teenage daughter, social media as a parent, learning to be more intentional vulnerable, leaning into the hard seasons of parenting, and wanting to be a guide to your kids.

A lot of Jon’s story is switching careers to being a life coach.  Jon runs the Engaged Father Project where he’s building a community of fathers and creating space for dads to talk about the hardships and joys of being a dad.  He tells the story of the moment when he decided he needed to make changes in his life, and the joy he feels when his kids refer to “old dad” compared this current version of himself.  Make sure to follow theengagedfatherproject on instagram if you’re looking for community!
