How to Avoid Getting Overwhelmed as a Dad With Seth Studley

About this episode

Society expects so much from fathers, that it’s not uncommon for us to feel overwhelmed at times. We find ourselves juggling the demands of work with maintaining a good marriage, being a good dad, while also attending to our day to day responsibilities. When we get to a point of overwhelm, we can easily fall into a habit of creating negative self-talk. Today, we are going to give you actionable steps you can take to avoid the overwhelm.

This is so important, because us dads are setting the mold by how our kids will build their own families in the future. And most of the time, an overwhelmed dad who isolates and is unsure of how to ask for help is impacting his kids’ future.

In this episode, Seth Studley talks about how dads can avoid being overwhelmed as they balance family life.
