#19 - VASECTOMY!

In this episode of New School Dad, Matt gets very real—and very honest—about a topic most dads don’t talk about: vasectomies.Seven days post-procedure, Matt walks through why he and his wife made the decision, the generational difference between “old school” and “new school” thinking, and what responsibility actually looks like when your family is complete. From three C-sections to hormone-free birth control, this episode reframes the conversation as less about masculinity and more about stepping up.Matt also breaks down the full experience—what happens before, during, and after the procedure—including what he wish he had known going in, mistakes he made (take the Valium), and what recovery really felt like when it didn’t go exactly by the book.This episode is equal parts informative, reflective, and uncomfortable—in the best way. If you’re a dad thinking about the next chapter of family life, this one’s for you.
