In this episode of Fatherhood Forward, we dive into all things mealtime with our kids. We share stories about picky eaters, the magic of sauces, and the ever-reliable dino nuggets. We explore the convenience of chicken nuggets, the pork vs. chicken debate, and the importance of sitting down as a family to eat together. We also discuss the impact of food on health, how to read labels, and the influence of controversial ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and Red 40. Plus, we touch on banned foods in other countries and what that means for our diets here. To wrap it up, we even taste-tested some baby food—because why not? Tune in for laughs, insights, and practical tips for making mealtime smoother and healthier for your little ones.

In this episode, we’re bringing you an inside look at childbirth from a father’s perspective—honestly, humorously, and without holding back. From our individual journeys to the hospital, to navigating the emotional highs and lows of labor, we share everything we learned along the way.

We talk about what it was really like being there to support our partners, the unexpected surprises, and the real lessons learned—like the importance of preparation, understanding the roles of midwives and doulas, and celebrating the strength of mothers through the whole process.

Plus, we have a little fun with a Labor Simulator Contraction Machine to test our pain tolerance (spoiler: it gets interesting).

Join us as we reflect on the ups and downs, share a few laughs, and celebrate the power of fatherhood and partnership.

In the season two finale, we dive deep into why Fatherhood Needs Community. As dads, we often feel the weight of our responsibilities, but sharing that journey within a supportive network makes all the difference. In this episode, we explore what true community looks like for fathers and why it’s essential—not only for our own growth but also for the legacy we’re building for our children.

From the challenges of vulnerability to the importance of finding like-minded people, we talk about how creating and leaning into a community has shaped our paths in fatherhood. We open up about the strength it takes to reach out, to listen, and to be there for each other—because no dad should have to do it alone.

As we wrap up season two, we reflect on the impact community has had on our lives and the Fatherhood Forward podcast. Join us for a heartfelt conversation on connection, legacy, and the power of shared experiences. And don’t worry—this is only the beginning. We’ll be back soon with season three and even more to share on the journey of fatherhood.
