The Dad.Work Podcast

Today’s guest is Tim Corcoran

We go deep talking about The definition of “purpose” and how it embodies itself in our lives as human, Embracing our mistakes while being steadfast in our commitment to our parenthood journey and our life’s purpose, Why we need to connect deeply with nature and how nature plays it’s role in our journey to finding our purpose, Fostering a relationship with our children by accepting responsibility as mature adults to encourage long-lasting interest and passion in our children, our emotional maturity as dads, as well as our ability to accept and express our feelings in healthy ways, and how developing a spiritual relationship is equally as significant and different from an emotional connection for our purpose.

Today’s guest is Dr. Jeremy Goldberg.

We go deep talking about why it’s important to build self love and give meaning to your life, why it’s vital for our kids to feel safe with us as their parents instead of shaming them, how and why to commit to doing the work in yourself to show up better in your family, how you can learn and practice the virtues of joy, kindness, compassion, and thankfulness in your life, why it is critical to facilitate and foster physical, emotional, and spiritual safety for your family, children, and partner, and why it’s critical to teach your children that they don’t have to be perfect in order for you to love them as a father.

We go deep talking about internal conflicts we face as fathers and how they affect us, our spouses, and our children, the overwhelming guilt and pain that comes over us as fathers, when we try to avoid some peace in our lives in order to avoid facing reality, why it is so important for fathers to join a men’s group, why in order to experience inner peace and healing, fathers must learn to forgive themselves for past mistakes and aspire to be a better man and father, why we need to provide our children with tools that we did not have as kids in order for them to grow up to be better men, partners, and fathers, why it is important for us to be able to recognize the emotions that lie underlying our children’s words and be present in their life as a safe haven, why it is critical for us to identify and comprehend the source of our pain and trauma, and why we need to overcome our addictions as men and fathers.

We go deep talking about what we can learn as men from myth and the mythopoetic men’s movement, what we as a society have forgotten from important myths like the split between men and women, understanding that toxic masculinity is actually immature masculinity, elements of a mature mindset and how lack of a father figure or having a toxic father growing up can affect you as a man, partner, and father, why self-healing and doing inner work as a father is crucial, and being more involved in your children’s lives as a father to build and sustain your relationship even in the future.

Today’s guest is Ian Lobas

We go deep talking about getting free of internal constraints and restrictions in our lives, making the most of your time with your children in order to avoid future anger and guilt, recognizing that there is more to being a man and a father than just hustling and sweating and providing for your family, the distinction between figuring things out and solving things when working on yourself, the need to work through trauma and past pain as a family, why it’s vital to investigate that one thing for which you are continuously blaming your parents and consider what you would have done in a similar situation, clearing, illuminating and eliminating the things from your past with your parents, knowing your values and skills as an individual and why it’s vital to not compare yourself with others, recognizing and understanding the impact of your parents in your life now, as an adult, and why it’s more important to understand that you inherently matter as a person, not just because of your persona or money you’ve made.
