Hello and welcome back to the Creative Parenting Podcast. In case you're just finding us, Creative Parenting Club is a global community of creatively-minded parents dedicated to supporting each other through the journey of having a family.
If that sounds interesting to you, be sure to find us on Substack to subscribe and connect with creative parents from all over the world. Our latest parent profile is of Bryce Seto, a business executive and father of two young girls based in Toronto. Bryce is also the author of Bird’s Eye View, another Substack newsletter which combines perspectives on parenting, mental health, and trying to do lots of things at the same time.
What I appreciate first and foremost about Bird’s Eye View is the lighthearted way that Bryce writes about his personal story of being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder several years ago, and his efforts since then to operate at a high level in his daily life while managing his mental health diagnosis. Bryce’s stories always make me laugh while at the same time inspiring me to pursue a similar level of self-awareness and self-improvement.
What also strikes me about Bryce, both from his newsletter as well as my conversation with him, is the sheer amount of stuff this guy does. When I was initially discovering Bird’s Eye View I was especially drawn in by his Ultimate Guide to Productivity, which is a hilarious and pretty real take on what it’s like to try to get other things done in your life while you’ve got one or more small children running around.
I asked Bryce to talk to us because I’ve been wanting to dig into the topic of men’s mental health for awhile in this space, and because his life as an executive, MBA student, writer, and papa dealing with BPD felt like a good example of the kinds of stories we want to elevate here. Bryce is a parent who is combining his mental health journey with a creative passion while also making time for everything else he’s got going on. It’s an example of how many different kinds of roles creativity can play in one’s life with kids, and how creative outlets can also help us to navigate the other challenges we all face.
Please welcome Bryce Seto.
