Why Becoming a Dad Made Me Feel Like a Failure as a Man | CWM EP 506

Becoming a father changes everything — except the bits you thought it would. One year into fatherhood, Matty gets brutally honest about the joy, the exhaustion, the identity shifts, and the financial pressure that nobody on Instagram is talking about.

On this episode we covered:

• Why the actual parenting part is easier than everyone said it would be — and what's genuinely hard
• The sleep deprivation spiral that wrecked Matty's gym routine, food choices, and old binge eating patterns
• What the feminist and alpha-masculine narratives both got wrong about having kids
• How a collapsing business, a solo provider role, and a new baby collided in the same year
• The parenting choices Matty and Yali made that most people told them they'd never stick to
• What Matty's son Gabriel taught him about time, love, and what actually matters
• Why you can't hold yourself to the same standard across different seasons of life
