#50: The Role of the Modern Dad: Showing Up Without a Script
This episode is for every dad who’s trying his best without a clear roadmap, for every partner who’s wondered how to better support him, and for every family who’s navigating what fatherhood means in today’s world.
Being a father today looks very different than it did even a generation ago. Dads are expected to do it all - provide, nurture, cook, co-regulate emotions, be emotionally present often without having seen any of that modelled growing up.
In this conversation, Nichole and Ben open up about their personal journey into parenthood and what it means to raise children as a team. Ben speaks honestly about becoming a father without a solid role model, what he had to unlearn, and what he’s still figuring out. Nichole shares what it took to truly support him not just as a co-parent, but as a partner.
Together they explore what the research tells us about why involved fathers matter so much for children's long-term wellbeing, what most dads are quietly struggling with, and how we can create more emotionally safe homes where dads are allowed to be human too.
They also talk about the pressure that comes with parenting in a world that’s changed faster than the support systems around it. From the mental health toll to the feeling of invisibility many dads carry, this episode is both a reminder and an invitation—to check in, to listen deeper, and to start rewriting the story of fatherhood with more care and clarity.
Whether you're a dad, parenting with one, or raising boys who will one day become men, this conversation is for you.
