The Truth About Becoming a Father: Insights No One Told You

Ever feel like you're drowning in a sea of questions as an expectant dad? You're not alone. From the moment you hear those life-changing words, "We're pregnant," your mind races with a million thoughts and worries. But don't panic - I've got your back.

In this eye-opening episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the top concerns that keep new dads up at night. We'll explore:

• Why you're suddenly your wife's superhero (and how to embrace that role)
• The surprising truth about your social life post-baby
• How to navigate the choppy waters of intimacy after childbirth
• The secret to maintaining your sanity when the crying won't stop
Plus, I'll share a personal story about the time I had to kick my mother-in-law out of the delivery room (spoiler: it wasn't pretty, but it was necessary).

Key Takeaways:
• The power of being your wife's advocate and protector
• Why prioritizing your marriage is crucial (even when it feels impossible)
• How to find your place in this new family dynamic
• The truth about your changing social circle (and why it's okay)

Whether you're a dad-to-be or you're gearing up for round two (or more), this episode will arm you with the knowledge and confidence to tackle fatherhood head-on.

Ready to become the dad your family deserves? Let's dive in and uncover the secrets that no one tells you about becoming a father!
