Expectations placed on fathers today look very different than they did a generation ago. Dads are expected to be emotionally present, active caregivers, co-parents, providers, and partners, often without clear role models or support systems to help guide them. In this episode, psychiatrist and father Dr. Anthony Chico joins us for an honest conversation about what fatherhood actually looks like today, where dads struggle, and what support really matters.
