Time is Love, Materialism, Breast Cancer Awareness, and Reading

Order My New Book, The Tired Dad In this episode of The Tired Dad & Tired Mom Podcast, we reflected on what life has looked like after the release of my book and the emotions that come with putting something so personal into the world. We talked about parenting, public speaking, and how becoming parents changes the way we see time, grief, success, and even ourselves. We had a deep conversation about the fleeting nature of childhood, the sacrifices that come with raising a family, and why connection and presence matter more than material things. We also talked honestly about relationships, expectations, balancing ambition with family life, and trying to find genuine human connection in a world that can often feel transactional. Later in the episode, we shifted into a conversation about health, breast cancer awareness, misinformation online, lifestyle choices, supplements, and the importance of critical thinking when it comes to medical advice. We wrapped up by discussing reading, lifelong learning, emotional intelligence, and the values we hope to pass down to our children. As always, thank you for listening and continuing to grow with us.
