This episode of The Dad's Den dives deep into the unseen challenges modern fathers face, especially new dads. We're pulling back the curtain on Male Imposter Syndrome, exploring why so many men feel like they're faking it 'til they make it when it comes to fatherhood. But it's not just about what's in our heads; we'll unpack the profound impact of mental, emotional, and even past trauma on a dad's ability to show up fully as a parent and partner.

We'll also tackle a crucial conversation from maternal spaces: the often-missing element of compassion during and after pregnancy. What's the real difference between just understanding symptoms and offering true, heartfelt compassion? And most importantly, how can dads move beyond empathy to become stronger, more supportive, and genuinely compassionate partners? Tune in to gain insights, strategies, and a fresh perspective on navigating the beautiful—and sometimes overwhelming—journey of fatherhood.
