The Pressure of Being A Dad: Mental Health, Identity, and Community with Tyson Allred

In today's episode, we sit down with Tyson Allred — father of six, author of A Father's Guide for Mental Health, host of Dad Bods and Beards, and team leader of the I Love You Bro men's group in Ogden — to talk honestly about what modern fatherhood does to a man's mental health. Tyson shares how becoming a dad reshaped his relationship with himself, the unique pressures fathers face today, and the moment he realized men needed a different kind of mental health conversation — one rooted in honesty, community, and realism. We talk burnout, expectations, self-care that actually works when you're exhausted, and why connection with other men can be life-changing. This episode is for dads who are tired, overwhelmed, trying to be strong for everyone else — and quietly wondering where they fit in all of it. You're not weak for feeling it. You're not alone. And you don't have to do this by yourself.   Find Tyson Allred Here: https://www.instagram.com/tyson.allred/ Stay Mentally Strong Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/staymentallystrong/
