The Transition to Fatherhood with Eric Jordan
Listen now
Description
The dads are back!  Jen sits down with her husband Eric to hear all about his hindsight 20/20 take on the transition into parenthood.  We discuss what he wishes he'd known before becoming a dad and some of the most challenging emotional and psychological transitions.  We dive into relationship dynamics, the roommate stage (and why it's not what we initially thought it would be), and myths and biases around gender norms. We share lots of our personal experiences, plus some of our biggest mistakes and revelations. This is a good one to share with a new or expecting dad! HUGE gratitude to ALL the men out there who are being change-makers and cycle breakers!!
