Episode 194 | Rob Reider of Sad Dads Club

This episode’s guest is Rob Reider the executive director of the Sad Dads Club.  The Sad Dads Club helps bereaved fathers navigate life after the loss of a child.  

This episode discovers child loss and the darkness that comes after it.  The Sad Dads Club exists to create community for dads after such a huge loss.

Rob and I talked about his love of music and his time in a band and the do it yourself punk scene, his experience with having a stillbirth, going through IVF, and having a second kid.  Rob shared stories of how this group gives men a life line when they’re surrounded by so much darkness.

I really respect and believe in what Rob is doing.  He’s leaning into meeting men where they are when they are isolated and making sure they feel seen and have space to discuss their lives. Rob has hard conversations with men all the time about their darkest moments, and the love and light he carries is really inspiring.

If you or a dad you know has experienced child loss at any point in their fatherhood journey, please let them know about Sad Dads Club. You can go to their website saddadsclub.org or follow them on instagram sad.dads.club
