In this episode of The Peaceful Papa Podcast, host Ravi Rothenberg sits down with relationship expert and founder of The Relationship School, Jayson Gaddis, for a candid, powerful conversation on fatherhood, marriage, and the daily practice of modeling love.
Together they explore how parents can create homes where children feel seen, safe, and understood—not by striving for perfection, but by showing up, repairing mistakes, and leading with presence.
