Summary

Today we interview Matthew Bradley from the Solo Dad Podcast. Matt’s wife passed away when his kids were young, so he’s been solo since then. Matt walks us through his unique approach to parenting and some insights he’s gained through his particular journey. This conversation is a must for every dad!

Highlights include:

Different types of self-care
How to deal with the disappointment of not showing up with your best dad self to your kids
How (and why) to avoid comparing yourself to other dads.
Piano Lessons vs. Ballet vs. Baseball. How do you prioritize when your children want to learn something different than you want
Why you need to make the first move in opening up to your dad friends

Enjoy this wide-ranging conversation!
