This week on Things I Wish I Knew About… Stacey sits down with Joseph Tito — creator of ‘The Dad Diaries’ and founder of ‘Between the Covers’ — for a raw, funny, and deeply honest conversation.

Joe shares his wild journey from international model and filmmaker to global TV producer, and finally to single dad of twin girls through surrogacy. They talk about grief, success, burnout, building a life that actually feels meaningful, and what it really takes to become a parent on your own.

They also get into how ‘The Dad Diaries' was born, the dark side of influencer culture, and why Joe is now focused on creating spaces that amplify women’s voices around the world.

An unforgettable conversation about identity, fatherhood, and choosing the life you actually want.

About Joe:

I’m a Canadian content creator and LGBTQ+ dad of twin girls whose work blends humor, honesty, and real-life parenting chaos. I share my life through The Dad Diaries, where I talk openly about fatherhood, family, and what it means to raise strong girls in today’s world. I also publish Between the Covers, a magazine I created as a legacy for my daughters to spotlight the brave, brilliant women I want them to grow up inspired by. At my core, I’m a storyteller who believes in showing up authentically and rewriting the rules of what family and creativity can look like.
