58. Your Daughter Is Waiting for a Conversation You Keep Avoiding with Stephen McNiel of the Mankind Project - Dadicated Joe | Lyssna här

Being physically there for our kids is not the same as being present. I know how easy it is to be in the room, but still carry work, stress, old wounds, and unfinished emotional work into fatherhood.

Stephen joins me to talk about sobriety, men's work, the Mankind Project, and what his absent father taught him about becoming a present father. We get into fatherhood, emotional awareness, breaking generational cycles, and why new dads need other men if they want to show up with more honesty, steadiness, and connection.

Inside this episode:

• Why presence means more than being home

• How an absent father shaped Stephen's parenting

• Why men's work matters for dads

• What emotional awareness gives your family

• How father-daughter weekends create honest conversations

• Why dads need safe spaces outside the home

Being Dadicated isn't about having all the answers.

It's about showing up.

It's about committing to the kind of dad—and man—you want to be, even when it's hard. Especially when it's hard.

Joe Carr is a dad to Della, husband to Serenity, co-founder of Serenity Kids baby food, and the voice behind Dadicated Joe.
