The Tired Dad & Tired Mom Podcast

In this episode, we share our personal experiences with love, parenting, and the challenges that come with it. We discuss our love story, the impact of having children on our relationship, and the struggles of postpartum challenges. The conversation also touches on sobriety, balancing life and work, and the challenges of raising kids in a digital age. We emphasize the importance of communication, understanding, and the hard work that goes into parenting, while also reflecting on our hopes for our children's future.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Updates01:49 Love Story: When Did You Know?08:38 The Impact of Parenthood on Relationships17:35 Navigating Postpartum Challenges24:11 Sobriety and Parenting31:11 Balancing Life, Work, and Parenting36:29 Raising Kids in the Digital Age44:17 Final Thoughts and ReflectionsSubscribe to my weekly reflections on SubstackFollow The Tired Dad on InstagramFollow The Tired Mom on InstagramSubscribe to Youtube Follow on TikTokFollow on FacebookEnter code: tireddadpod for 15% off at tireddad.comFor partnerships, email collabs@tireddad.com
