  • Very helpful, useful, and positive

    For me, this podcast, the resources through the app, and especially the community that Jude has built have been so valuable. Some episodes really resonated with where I was, and gave me better perspective. Other episodes are still thoughtful, positive and leave me in a better place

  • Extremely helpful!

    Listening to this pod has been extremely helpful. The information discussed here seems to be common sense but as a man experiencing a long, drawn out, and ongoing divorce the tools presented here I have found to be very beneficial and highly recommend this podcast for all fathers going through divorce.

    I am interested in being a part of the dadvocate chapter in the Denver Metro area. How can I find out more information about doing so?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

310 - Put Down The Cheetos And Pick Up A Journal
Q: What practical steps can dads take right now to reduce drift?
Begin with a seven-day reset focusing on daily 15-minute self-work, journaling, and establishing morning routines before kids wake. Build a support circle, regulate emotions, and implement a 10-minute or 24-hour rule for responding to ex-partner communications to avoid reactive mistakes.
310 - Put Down The Cheetos And Pick Up A Journal
Q: What is the HERO method and how does healing fit into it?
HERO stands for healing, establish, rebuild, and own. Healing begins with clarity about who you want to become and requires accountability, mentors, and consistent routines to rebuild identity and leadership; it's a long-term process, not a quick fix.
298 - REPLAY: Fathers Versus The Pull Of Mediocrity
Q: What are the origins of this mediocrity in parenting?
The guest suggests that the origin comes from distraction and lack of presence, amplified by social media and everyday drift, which reduces the quality of parent-child engagement and allows unhealthy dynamics to take root.
293 - How A Dad Beat Legal Gaslighting And Built A Better Life
Q: How did you manage your emotional stress while ensuring it didn't impact your parenting time with your son?
I visualized transitions, took time to process my emotions before parenting time, and established a hard boundary to protect that time.
293 - How A Dad Beat Legal Gaslighting And Built A Better Life
Q: What were your expectations going into your divorce and what was the specific wake-up call that made you realize you needed to pay attention?
I expected some chaos at the start, thinking we would settle into a 50-50 custody arrangement quickly, but when access to my child was restricted unexpectedly, it was a huge wake-up call that I needed to be strategic in this high-conflict situation.
