Just in time for Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the unique journey of being a girl dad.
In this special episode, we sit down with two educators, fathers, and proud girl dads to talk about the joys, challenges, and life lessons that come with raising strong, confident daughters. From learning unexpected parenting skills and navigating tough conversations to building traditions and watching their daughters find their voices, they share honest stories, heartfelt reflections, and plenty of laughs along the way.
Together, we explore how fatherhood has shaped them as men, what they hope their daughters learn by watching them, and why empowering girls starts at home. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or someone who has been influenced by a great father figure, this conversation offers meaningful insights on raising the next generation with confidence, respect, and compassion.
Plus, hear the advice they would give to other dads raising strong girls.
Tune in for a thoughtful and inspiring conversation about fatherhood, family, and the incredible privilege of raising daughters.
