About This Podcast

Parenting does not come with a guidebook. We wish it did, and the stay–at-home-dads on this podcast will be the first to admit that they get it wrong most of the time. So if you’re looking for answers, we’re afraid you’ve come to the wrong place. But if you’re looking for authentic stories, fellow vulnerable dads, and parenting experiences (both the good and bad), then tap that play button now! Each episode features dads who are primary caregivers to their kids, having candid discussions filled with laughter, tears, and shared epiphanies, in hopes of helping one another navigate the challenge
