In My Daddy Era: Confessions from a First-Time Father
In My Daddy Era is a place for me to slow down and say the things I don’t want to forget.
Each episode is a short reflection on becoming a first-time father. The moments that catch me off guard, the feelings I didn’t expect, the fear, the joy, and the quiet in-between. Sometimes it’s something big. Sometimes it’s something small. But it’s always honest.
This isn’t a parenting podcast or a guide on how to do things “right.” It’s more like an audio journal of me talking through what fatherhood is teaching me in real time, while I’m still learning it myself.
The episodes are short, lightly edited, and recorded whenever life makes something feel worth capturing. Just reflections I want to remember… and maybe something my daughter will hear one day and understand how deeply she was loved.
They say singing to your child is the easiest way to get them to sleep. They don't tell you that in the heat of a 2:00 AM meltdown, the only song your brain will remember is "Jingle Bells" in the middle of spring.
In this episode, I’m confessing my lack of vocal talent and how I became a full-time car performer for my daughter. From "Elmo the Musical" during daycare pickups to the moment she realized what actual singing sounds like at Costco, I’m realizing that my bad singing is just another part of the "Daddy Era" curriculum.
