Welcome to Episode 4 of Grown Ass Dads, where three mid-life dads pull back the curtain on what it really feels like to be the steady one, the strong one, the one who’s just supposed to “figure it out.”

This episode dives into the unspoken stress of modern fatherhood—the emotional weight, the mental load, and the silent pressure we carry every damn day. From the everyday grind to the “oh sh*t, I’m not okay” moments, we’re having the conversation most dads don’t.

🔥 Episode Highlights:

• Why we bottle stress—and why it’s breaking us
• The pressure to be the rock, even when you’re crumbling
• How a simple "thank you" from your partner can flip your week
• Cracks in the armor – letting your kids see the real you
• Guilt, shame, and the fear of failing our families
• Trying to do it all vs. asking for help
• How our emotions leak out sideways (aka quiet rage and garage escapes)
• The surprising relief of being seen, even for a moment

🧠 This is for the dads holding it together with humor, bourbon, and pure grit.

You’re not alone—and you’re not broken. Let’s talk about it.

Welcome to Episode 3 of Grown Ass Dads—where three mid-life dads tackle the real, raw, and ridiculous realities of trying to balance it all. Spoiler alert: work-life balance isn’t real, and if it is, we haven’t met a single dad who’s cracked the code.

In this episode, Jason, Adam, and Jay explore what it actually looks like to juggle being dads, partners, professionals, and still trying to squeeze in a little personal time (usually in the bathroom, let’s be honest). This one is packed with real talk, laughs, and a few accidental mic drops on modern fatherhood.

🔥 Episode Highlights:

• Is work-life balance even real? Spoiler: No. Harmony? Maybe.
• Dad guilt hits hard – “I’m failing at everything.”
• How to reset when everything’s out of whack
• Long bathroom breaks = dad therapy
• Morning routines we want vs. the ones we actually have
• Parenting lessons hidden in school drop-offs
• Isolation, burnout, and the mental load of being “the rock”
• Crabby little bitches & quiet rage: How dads carry stress
• Anger vs. sadness vs. fear—and how to deal with all three
• “The Ideal Week” method to reclaim your life and your sanity

👊 If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in responsibility, screwing up at everything, or hiding in the garage just to catch your breath—you’re in the right place.

Whether you’re winning, surviving, or completely winging it, this one’s for the dads doing their best (and occasionally falling flat on their faces).
