Men & Fatherhood with Jason Seeman

In this episode of Brothers In Depth, I am joined by Jason Seeman, the creator of Raising Fathers, is a fatherhood guide, educator, and facilitator with over a decade of experience creating and facilitating education programs that have impacted over one million people globally.    Today, Jason shares the transformative journey of fatherhood, and how his passion for supporting fathers was ignited both during his youth and through personal experiences as a father himself.    We explore the idea that when a father fully shows up, it positively impacts the entire family unit. Jason recounts poignant moments from his own life, including a rite of passage he experienced during his first child's birth that brought up intense feelings of fear and anxiety, and how it propelled him to help other men navigate fatherhood. He also shares the different ways he's learned to help support fathers, such as cognitive reframing, community support, intergenerational healing, and the importance of emotional safety in relationships.    Additionally, we discuss actionable daily practices for fathers to connect deeply with their children and partners, such as taking inventory of household tasks and the division of work in partnerships, finding ways to open up and be more vulnerable, and having the difficult conversations about values early on in a relationship — even before parenthood.    If you're curious about how to enhance your emotional connection and presence as a father, or want to learn about supporting your partner during the complexities of early parenting, this episode is an eye-opener. Join us for a rich conversation that illuminates the path toward a more mindful and connected fatherhood journey.
