44 Fatherhood Rewrote His Identity & Why That’s OK with Adam Flaherty: Father’s Day Edition

Do dads go through identity crises too? If you've ever wondered what the other half of your parenting partnership is really thinking (but not always saying), this episode is for you.

We often talk about the identity shift moms go through, but what about dads? What happens when a guy who used to live for his band and the stage suddenly finds himself sleepless, emotionally raw, and unsure of his place in this new family dynamic?

In today’s episode, Adam Flaherty of the Modern Dadhood podcast gets real about:

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• Why his passion for music took a backseat to parenting—and why he’s okay with it
• How becoming a father completely changed how he saw himself
• The grief of losing his mom while raising young kids—and how that grief shows up in parenting

This episode is a must-listen for moms who want to better understand their partners, and for dads who are navigating this identity-shifting ride too.
