Episode 5: Family Traditions for Dads – Creating Meaningful Moments That Stick

What do grocery days, backyard barbecues, and Wonder Bread pizza nights have in common? In this heartwarming and hilarious episode, the dads dive deep into the small but mighty family rituals that shape childhoods and strengthen bonds.

From nostalgic throwbacks to messy Christmas trees and s’mores-in-the-microwave movie nights, this conversation explores how simple, consistent moments can become lifelong emotional anchors. Whether it’s a handshake before school or a soft-serve swirl at the Mandarin buffet, these traditions help build identity, resilience, and a sense of belonging.

We unpack:

• Why the little things matter more than you think
• How rituals become emotional regulation tools for kids
• Creative ways to start new traditions with your family
• What to do when your kids grow out of the old ones

Rituals don’t need to be elaborate to be powerful—they just need to be consistent. Tune in for laughter, stories, and some seriously touching memories.
