I hit a breaking point a few months into fatherhood. I was running on fumes — launching a company, supporting my wife through postpartum recovery, taking care of a newborn, and still trying to pretend I was fine. Not only that, but I wasn’t. I found myself overwhelmed, depressed, and unsure of how to ask for help. That moment — that low — became the start of something deeper.
In this episode, I share how fatherhood cracked me open. I talk about parenting as a daily spiritual practice, the shock of realizing how much I still relied on my partner for emotional stability, and how I learned to parent myself while raising my daughter. I get into what postpartum looks like for dads (yes, it’s real), why building a support system is non-negotiable, and why the struggle is actually the point.
In this episode, I talk about:
What does postpartum depression in fathers really feel like?
How do you build emotional support when you’re the one holding everything?
Why is asking for help a critical skill in early fatherhood?
How can fatherhood transform you — if you let it?
What does it mean to reparent your inner child as a dad?
Being dadicated isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about showing up.
It’s about committing to the kind of dad—and man—you want to be, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.
Joe Carr is a dad to Della, husband to Serenity, co-founder of Serenity Kids baby food, and the voice behind Dadicated Joe.
