Society has placed expectations of what it means to be a man, masculinity, and traditional roles of father that have made it difficult for some men to navigate being a present and engaged dad in their family. In this episode, Judie interviews Jody about his podcast Father's Fire. They explore conversations that he's had with hundreds of men about the father/husband relationship and the impact of society's expectations (sometimes very black and white) on dads which can be both positive and negative on the family.
