In this episode of Transformed by Birth, I’m joined by fatherhood advocates Bobby Brown and Brandon Rennels for a conversation about the often-overlooked transformation men experience when they become fathers. Together, we explore identity shifts, healing childhood wounds, father-son relationships, mental health, birth preparation, advocacy, and the profound responsibility that can emerge when a new life enters the world. Bobby and Brandon share personal stories about their journeys into fatherhood, reflecting on how becoming a dad invited them into deeper self-awareness, emotional growth, and a renewed sense of purpose. This conversation is an invitation to recognize fatherhood not simply as a new role, but as a rite of passage that deserves support, community, and care.
