59 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 year ago - ★★★★★ - 180 ratings

Parenting is one of life’s greatest gifts, yet it can also be stressful, exhausting, and extremely lonely... but YOU ARE NOT ALONE. This podcast was built on the belief that the best way to build community is by digging in and getting honest with ourselves. This is not a place for advice as much as it’s about finding connection with other parents (no matter your gender) who know exactly what you’re going through.Yes, this is a parenting podcast; and while we do discuss issues that revolve around life with kids, we focus more on the life of a human... who happens to be a parent, and how to balance the multitude of hats we wear on a daily basis while attempting to be the best version of ourselves for our partner, our children, and our own personal well-being.// DILF is a top parenting podcast which has broken into Apple's Top 50 Parenting Podcast charts around the world, while recently hitting #6 on the US charts :: To join in on the conversation, find us on Instagram @DILFpodcast //

Pregnant in the Time of Corona (DILF's Expect The Unexpected Series, part 1)

April 09, 2020 07:05 - 37 minutes

This is the first of DILF's new ongoing series, Expect The Unexpected, where we invite on dads-to-be to provide the often too-rare opportunity to explore feelings on pending fatherhood, and then welcome them back months later to see how any fears measured up to the realities of parenthood. The goal is to allow veteran parents to nostalgically revisit the infancy of their own parental concerns and the chance to check-in with themselves on how far they've come, while offering the freedom to e...

DILF Challenge :: The Grandparent Hokey Pokey

March 31, 2020 07:05 - 4 minutes

Last week, we video chatted with my parents at around 4pm in the afternoon. They were both in bed, had been all day. And although they were excited to talk to their grandson, they were simultaneously glued to their bed and the tv news. And then my 18m son requested a song, but my mom singing apathetically from bed didn't exactly do the trick and he got a bit bored. SO, I suggested a little Hokey Pokey, and my dad leaped at the chance to entertain his grandson. And as he got into the dance, s...

#SpreadCALM | Overcoming Anxieties in the Home

March 26, 2020 07:05 - 37 minutes

Before we can even attempt to follow the advice we've all read to calm our anxieties like going for walks, eating healthy, or meditating, we need to first ACKNOWLEDGE OUR FEELINGS. Pushing them down won't help you or anyone around you. Feeling anxious during this craziness is normal… at any age. In this episode, Kevin welcomes Ned Johnson (co-author of national bestseller, The Self-Driven Child) to discuss some of the neuroscience behind stress as well as his recent article in the Washingto...

Modern Dadhood

March 12, 2020 07:05 - 33 minutes

As of now, there's really no system in place to welcome, educate or support dads... not like there is for moms. Therefore, the simple action of making a new "dad friend" is no easy task. This episode is our first step in truly bringing these issues to light, and hopeful helping other dads out there to know that they are not alone.

Acknowledgement (DILF's Co-Parenting Series)

February 20, 2020 08:05 - 34 minutes

A few weeks back, my wife and I were in the middle of an argument when I realized that WHAT we were actually fighting about had nothing to do with the situation before us or the words coming out of our mouths... we were each angry about other unresolved issues in our relationship and simply using this random argument to vent frustrations without actually addressing the true issue at hand... and it was beginning to impact the environment in which we raise our child. We were in a vicious cycle...
