Description

In this episode of A Dad's Life, hosts Calumn and Jimmy explore the profound identity shift that comes with becoming a dad.

They discuss the changes in priorities, routines, and self-perception that many fathers experience, often leading to feelings of guilt and confusion about their roles.

The conversation emphasises the importance of verbalising these feelings, redefining one's identity, and recognising that personal growth continues throughout life.

We encourage dads to embrace their evolving selves while remaining present for their families, highlighting that it's possible to be both a great dad and an individual with personal aspirations.


This one hits deep, and it might just be the permission you’ve been waiting for to reconnect with you.
