My work revolves around women and birthing people, and naturally my guests on the podcast are mainly of that experience! However, today we are mixing things up a bit and exploring the transition to parenthood from a man’s perspective.
Joining me today on Yoga | Birth | Babies for this conversation is Dan Doty. Dan is a father of 3, a husband, an outdoorsman and a meditator. He is the co-founder of Fatherhood Ready and Fatherhood Unlocked. He was the co-founder of men’s org EVRYMAN and the producer director of hit tv show MeatEater. He has been featured in the NYTimes, Men’s Health, the Today Show and the Joe Rogan Experience.
In this episode, we dive into how fatherhood has evolved across generations and what it looks like for men today. Dan shares solid, practical tools for men on how to show up for their partners and children, and I know you’ll find this conversation incredibly valuable.
In this episode, you will learn:
- About Dan and what led him to focus on the role of fathering, and create a father-centered community
