Dr. Allen Rigell: Mental Health, Cast Away and The Pursuit of Balance

This week on the pod we are joined by Dr. Allen Rigell! Allen is
a dad to one, a husband, an Adult Outpatient Psychiatrist and
Palmer’s Psychiatrist. We had Allen on the pod to discuss mental
health for dads and men and really had a great
conversation! 


Allen’s Today’s Dad definition was all about the different
hurdles that come with all the different phases of fatherhood and
how a Today’s Dad looks to the Tom Hanks that has been stranded
on the island for years for advice about fatherhood instead of
the Tom Hanks that just washed ashore. He also spoke about being
in “autopilot” mode as a parent and partner and the balance of
that. 


We talk about a lot on the pod this week, but the biggest take
away we hope you get is that it is good to ask for help or a
place to talk when you need it. We use this pod as an outlet to
share our experiences and know the benefit of talking about the
ups and downs of life. A big thanks to Allen for joining us on
the pod and sharing his experiences with us.
