For generations, fathers were taught that their job was simple:
protect, provide, preside.

But what happens when those old rules no longer fit?

In this conversation, Dr. Becky talks with writer and father
Kevin Maguire ("The New Fatherhood") about the emotional
transformation happening inside modern fatherhood — and why so
many dads are trying to parent differently than they were
parented themselves.

They explore:

why presence matters more than ever in parenting

the hidden identity shift that happens when men become
fathers

why play can feel surprisingly hard for dads

anger, emotional regulation, and repair

the pressure men feel to disconnect from vulnerability

paternal postpartum depression and why so few people talk
about it

how healing ourselves changes the way we show up for our kids

This is an honest conversation about masculinity, parenting,
emotions, and the courage it takes to break generational
patterns.

Kevin's new book is called The New Fatherhood: Why Everything
They Told You About Being A Dad Is Wrong, and How Embracing It
Will Transform Your Life.
