  Episode 11: TSY9493 | Listener Story

  Aug 30, 202613 min

  For the first time on Dad Lyfe, I’m sharing a story from one of you. In Episode 11, tsy9493 from the Dads Supporting Dads community shares what it feels like when the dream you spent years chasing no longer fits the life you want as a father. After 10 years in law enforcement, he’s faced with a decision: stay in a role he’s proud of that has become part of who he is, or make a change that could give him more stability, safety, and most importantly, more time to be present for his son. But when your career becomes part of your identity, making that choice isn’t as simple as it sounds. This is a story about fatherhood, identity, purpose, and realizing that sometimes becoming a dad doesn’t mean giving up on who you were. It means figuring out who you want to become. Have a story to share? If you’d like to share your story on Dad Lyfe—whether it’s a struggle, a victory, or a lesson that shaped you as a father—I’d love to hear from you.

  Episode 10: A Father’s Legacy

  Aug 23, 20268 min

  When your children think back on you years from now… what will they remember? Will it be the things you bought them? The hours you worked? Or the moments you chose to spend by their side? In this episode of Dad Lyfe: The Man Behind the Role, I reflect on what it really means to leave a legacy as a father. It’s not about money, titles, or accomplishments. It’s about the lessons we teach, the love we show, and the memories we create long after we’re gone. None of us know how much time we have. That’s why every conversation, every hug, every game played in the backyard, and every bedtime story matters more than we realize. If this episode leaves you with one thought, let it be this: your children may not remember everything you said, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel. You’re not just raising children. You’re building your legacy. Have a story to share? If you’d like to share your story on Dad Lyfe—whether it’s a struggle, a victory, or a lesson that shaped you as a father—I’d love to hear from you.

  Episode 9: Where Did I Go?

  Aug 16, 20269 min

  Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered… Where did I go? Fatherhood changes everything. Your priorities shift. Your time isn’t your own anymore. The hobbies, routines, and version of yourself you once knew slowly fade into the background as your family becomes your world. In this episode of Dad Lyfe: The Man Behind the Role, I share my own journey of navigating that change—the things I’ve gained, the parts of myself I’ve lost, and why I wouldn’t trade being a dad for anything. This isn’t about missing my old life. It’s about understanding that becoming the father my children deserve meant becoming a different version of myself. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost a piece of who you used to be, this conversation is for you. You’re not alone. Keep showing up.

  Episode 8: The Guilt Never Ends

  Aug 9, 20266 min

  Do you ever lie awake wondering if you did enough today? In this episode of Dad Lyfe: The Man Behind the Role, I talk about one of the biggest struggles I’ve faced as a father: guilt. The guilt of leaving for work. The guilt of missing moments. The guilt of feeling like I should have done more—even on the days when I gave everything I had. This episode isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being honest about the thoughts so many dads carry but rarely talk about. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re a good enough dad, I hope this episode reminds you of one thing: You’re not alone. Thank you for being here, and thank you for being part of the Dad Lyfe community.

  Episode 7: The Day I Became a Dad

  Aug 2, 20268 min

  There are moments in life that divide everything into “before” and “after.” For Matt, that moment came on December 27, 2023. After years of waiting, heartbreak, and uncertainty, the day had finally arrived. But nothing could have prepared him for what happened in the delivery room—or for the overwhelming emotions that came with hearing his son’s first cry. This is the story of the day he didn’t just meet his son. This is the day he became a dad.
