Lessons from Fatherhood

The ups and downs of navigating parenthood as a partnership

Fatherhood is different for every man, and parenting is different for every couple, but there are some common threads often experienced by most fathers. Hearing other parents’ perspectives and experiences can help fathers feel less alone on their own parenting and relationship journeys.

So with this in mind, in this episode of The Crux, Ryan and Slade take turns speaking about their experiences with fatherhood, and how their perspectives have grown and evolved with time.

We hope you enjoy!
