Being a dad comes with pressure — to provide, to protect, to be present — and when dads feel like they fall short, guilt creeps in. In this first part of our two-part Dad Guilt series, we hear a powerful, raw story of fatherhood, the invisible weight dads carry, and the silent doubts they often keep to themselves.
We’ll talk about:
The pressure to be the provider and what it costs emotionally
The challenge of bonding early
Silent comparisons to their own dads or societal expectations
This episode shines a light on struggles dads rarely voice out loud — and reminds us that their feelings deserve space, too.
