As a thank-you to all the good guys out there, I’m sharing work by some fellow Substackians (let’s make that a word) who speak from the heart about all of the ups & downs of fatherhood … including those I-don’t-know-what-I’m-doing-because-no-one-taught-me-this-piece roller coaster moments so privy to cycle-breaker parents who intentionally change the old patterns of emotional neglect or toxicity. For both living & honestly sharing about these moments, I say to each of these dads, “THANK YOU.”
Fragile Moments by JD the Jedi — mental health, self-growth, “Dads Cry, Too”
On Learning by Bevan Holloway — transformation learning, growing brains, New Zealand & the world
(Un)Cool Dad by Ryan Pierce — learning from kids, occasional dad jokes
The Ocean by Ugur Akinci — bilingual Boomer perspective (a.k.a. the oh-so important long view), meditation & mindfulness
360 Parenting by Daniel Hagadorn — family-first education, neuroplasticity, emotionally healthy kids
No Idea What I’m Doing by Clint Edwards — teen anxiety, raw dad feels, married life
Some Other Dad by Brad — raw dad feels from the other side of the pond with toddlers & newborns
Just seeing this and I am am so thankful for the recommendation!
