Dad And Then What
When you first find out you’re going to be a father, the excitement is usually followed by a million questions and a lot of confusion; or both.
Dad and Then What was created to be the resource I wish I’d had back then: a space for honest, unfiltered conversations about the reality of being a dad.
Whether you’re a first-, second-, or third-time father, this is a place to hear the real stories—the situations, the emotions, and the "then what" moments we all face but rarely talk about. Our goal is simple: to make fatherhood feel a little less lonely, a little less intimidating, and a lot more accessible. If just one dad sees himself in these stories and realizes he’s not alone, we’ve hit the jackpot.
Join us as we open the dialogue, one story at a time.
