Whether you’re here because you’re trying to ease the worries of your loved ones or you’re questioning if what you’re feeling is normal in this new role as a dad, one thing is clear: a big shift has taken place in your life.
postpartum dad support
So, you’ve been told you should talk to someone...
and maybe you've heard the word “postpartum” thrown around. That’s landed you here.
Every 1 in 10 new dads know your struggle.
It's not just you - new dads often feel out of place.
Postpartum depression - This new feeling will hit you in ways you weren’t expecting. Suddenly, the anger is there, and it makes talking about anything feel impossible. The weight of not getting things right feels like way too much, so you pull back. But then, that just doesn’t feel any better either.
And lately, you might’ve noticed one of two things: either it’s getting way too easy to lose yourself in a game or a project, or it’s harder than ever to care about stuff that used to give you some peace.
They often worry if they are doing enough.
Postpartum anxiety - You think you've got your worries all locked away in neat little boxes—maybe even some memories from the birth itself. But every now and then, that feeling slips out and makes it hard to focus or keep your cool.
And now, you’ve got this tiny human to care for. You can’t mess this up, right? But a part of you probably fears that you already have. Trying to figure out what the 'right' thing is to do to take care of your family, and then actually making it happen, can start to feel completely out of reach.
It's hard to feel connected.
Isolation can sneak up on you. One minute, you’re hanging with the guys, and the next, it feels like you’re out of place. Conversations that used to be easy now feel forced, and it’s tough not to wonder how they’ve got it all together when everything in your own life feels like a mess.
You might catch yourself avoiding plans, pulling back from meet-ups, and just feeling more alone. Whether it's the exhaustion from sleepless nights or the weight of everything on your mind, it seems easier to stay in your own space than to reach out.
when we take a step back and actually look at everything—your relationships, where you’re at in life, what’s going right (and what’s really stressing you out)—things start to make more sense.
I’m guessing you’ve got a lot on your plate right now. (Maybe too much.) I also know you're no rookie. I know you can carry your weight tenfold, but in this period of your life, you've got to work smarter, not harder.
We’ll figure out what direction works for you. No one-size-fits-all advice. Just real talk, and practical solutions that actually fit your life.
