In this episode, Julian enlightens us all with some absolutely incredible insight into what it is to be a dad and how the societal gender programming of men (mixed with our stubbornness and ego- of course) actually perpetuate common “new family” woes. I’m guessing; like me, you too fell into some of these very common scenarios.

That’s exactly why I HAD to have him on the Podcast- he’s obviously a wealth of information and wisdom. Don’t think that just because he’s an MFT he’s got this parenting thing all dialed, nope. He’s just like the rest of us trying to figure it all out and doing the best he can failing forward. Just like you, however, he’s maximizing the wisdom of others in this quest and now you can tap into his wealth of experiences.

Join us for what it means to be human, the parenting manual, the bumbling father stereotype, nobody is perfect and of course the greatest American hero. But the real nugget is how Julian demystifies and delineates an extremely common relational breakdown that every guy is pre-programmed to fall into… Cue Admiral Ackbar, “Its a trap!”
