(This the third of five re-releases of host Jessica Patay's favorite episodes before we introduce to Season 4.!)

Jessica loves this episode because, well, she loves her husband! She is extremely grateful that he has been a dedicated, loving, "hands-on dad" over the 22 years they have raised their kids together. She hopes this will inspire other fathers to have a voice and share their experiences in altered fatherhood.

Today on the podcast Jessica and Chris Patay talk about fatherhood, and Chris’s journey over the years raising Luke, Kate, and their son, Ryan, who has Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare, genetic disorder. Jessica interviews Chris about the duality of joy and pain in being a father, as well as the vital power of community for dads.
