Today's episode:

In this episode, we dive deep into a troubling issue that many dads are facing today: depression and dissatisfaction with their lives. It’s not just about work stress or feeling like life is unfair; there’s a deeper, underlying problem that’s affecting fathers everywhere. Many dads find themselves stuck in a routine, not liking where they are or where their life is headed. They try to fill the void with distractions like video games, sports, hobbies, or spending money, but these quick fixes only mask the real issue.

We'll discuss what it means to be a "lost dad" and the impact it has on families and society as a whole—broken families, strained marriages, and a lack of meaningful father-child relationships. We'll explore why so many dads feel this way, touching on the disappointment between their expectations and reality, and how societal pressures often lead them to seek purpose in their jobs, hobbies, or even social media. But the truth is, they won’t find true purpose and meaning there.

Instead, we'll talk about how to address this deeper issue, change the narrative, and help dads find real fulfillment by focusing on what truly matters. Whether you're a dad yourself or you know one who's struggling, this episode offers insights on how to restore the father’s role in the home and bring back a sense of purpose and joy in life.
