Welcome To Fatherhood – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome to episode 2 of season 5!

In this episode I share a helpful perspective a fellow dad shared that's helped me become less anxious about the uncertainty of the future my children will inhabit. I know this perspective will also be helpful for you!

Welcome to episode 1 of this new season (my fifth!)

In this episode, I invite you to ask yourself this question, "Are you satisfied with the version of life you're currently living today, right now?" This is the question that's occupied my mind in recent weeks, and it's led me down a disorienting rabbit hole in the best possible way. 

How have you approached feelings of nonfulfillment and dissatisfaction? What has caused you to feel this way in your experience as a man, father? And what sorts of decisions have you made to overcome it or be overcome by it?

This is The Miscarriage Doula's takeover of the Welcome To Fatherhood podcast!

Arden Cartrette is the founder of The Miscarriage Doula, a service for anyone who is going through loss, struggling with pregnancy after loss, or is looking for more information on how to get through miscarriage in general. This service was birthed out of Arden's own history with infertility and unexplained pregnancy losses. Arden also hosts the Miscarriage Stories with Arden Cartrette podcast. She is a mother to two living children.

In this collaborative conversation, Arden interviews me, Kelly Jean-Philippe, about supporting my wife through four miscarriages, for a first hand account of the male partner’s experience following  loss of pregnancies.

If you are a male partner looking for support following a loss of pregnancy, or you are with  a male partner who could benefit from support, the Dads & Miscarriage Facebook community is here to help.

As always, thank you for spending part of your week with us.

I'm on a quest, apparently, to try to understand the way fatherhood has been portrayed historically. I have no idea where I'm headed, but that's the fun part. I believe I can better understand some of the inner struggles I face today as a father by looking back to uncover what insight and/or perspective history has to offer. 

Thank you for joining me!

The role of the father: past, present and future

Do you have a new year's resolution? It seems like most people this year are staying away from that. In this episode, I'm doing the exact opposite & talk about what my new year's resolution is, as well as why I think it's important for more DADS to follow my lead in adopting this specific one.

Here's to 2021! Happy New Year!
