Most men, when they go through something devastating, put on a mask. They push it down, tell themselves they dealt with it, and keep moving forward.

Taz Harding did exactly that. And for six years it cost him more than he realized.

In this episode Taz shares one of the most honest accounts of grief, marriage, and fatherhood we have had on the Dadical Podcast. Ten months into his marriage, he and his wife Kirsten found out they were pregnant. What followed was six weeks of bed rest, multiple blood transfusions, and ultimately a stillbirth at twenty weeks. And instead of dealing with it, Taz did what most men do. He put on the mask.

What he did not expect was how far that mask would reach. Into his marriage. Into his relationship with himself. Into six years of compounding resentment and emotional distance from the woman he loved most.

This episode is also about what happens when you finally take it off. Taz shares how a men's retreat a few months ago became the catalyst for the most honest season of his marriage and his life. He talks about what it means to feel seen, what vulnerability actually looks like for a man, and how the lessons his own father taught him are shaping the kind of dad he is determined to become for his three boys.

If you are carrying something you have not dealt with, you know what it is. We hope this conversation gives you a reason to start.
