My First Year as a Father

My First Year as a Father is an interview-style podcast that centers on the often unheard  stories of fatherhood. By listening to these men speak openly and honestly about their own journeys – the doubts, the fears, the transformations – the listener  experiences something that rarely exists elsewhere: real conversations about what it actually feels like to become a father and adjust to an entirely new reality. 


The first year doesn't just change your life—it rewires you. Fathers share how their perspective on life, on themselves, and on what matters fundamentally changes. They open up about wrestling with their own past, breaking inherited cycles, and discovering what it means to truly show up for their kids. 


Through these conversations, listeners find themselves in these stories and discover that the first year of fatherhood is far more complex, demanding and transformative than they imagined.
