About This Podcast

The Council of Fathers podcast is here to support parents in navigating the challenges of parenting and fatherhood and family dynamics from a place of compassion and care.

We’re offering down-to-earth insights and real-life tools for shifting our lives in the direction of more heart-centered living. We hope to share meaningful stories and inspiring examples of connective parenting without creating impossible to live up to standards or expectations.

Fatherhood requires Brotherhood and we intend for this Podcast to help spark more community and connection amongst fathers as well.
