The moment everything changes. In our first episode, we talk about the raw, unfiltered reality of becoming a parent for the first time. From the emotions that hit you in the delivery room to the quiet moments no one prepares you for — this one’s about those first days, and how they shape us. We also dive into what support really looks like for your partner and the unexpected ways fatherhood challenges and grows you.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes a personal story involving a traumatic birth experience. Listener discretion is advised. (23:45)
