Nobody prepared you for this.

You were handed a role with no rulebook, no training, and a set of expectations that would have been unrecognisable to your own father. Be present. Be a provider. Be emotionally available. Lead the family. Manage your career. Look after your health. Do all of it simultaneously and do not complain.

In this episode we get into why modern fatherhood is genuinely harder than it has ever been — not because men are weaker, but because the demands have multiplied while the support structures have disappeared.

What we cover:

• Why the modern dad is expected to fulfil roles that previous generations split between an entire community
• How chronic stress and hormonal decline are quietly undermining the fathers who are trying hardest
• The cultural scripts around masculinity that are leaving men isolated and ill-equipped
• Why comparison to previous generations is both unfair and unhelpful
• What it actually looks like to show up as a present, grounded father in 2025
