It’s time to fight outdated stereotypes regarding gender roles within the home.

It’s time for parenting culture to invite dads into the conversation… cuz we’re already here… and we’re not going anywhere.

As parents, our focus is often firmly planted on our children and their wellbeing, but how can we be expected to provide them with the very best if we’re completely neglecting ourselves and our own needs?!

In DILF’s Season Two Finale, we explore a short list of actions that we can take as parents in order to attempt to refill our own cups and access more joy in our lives…

It’s no secret that the world treats men and women very differently… and the same goes for moms and dads; however, truly comprehending what it’s like for the opposite sex is no easy task.

Kevin welcomes Nick North, a trans man with the rare experience of living life as both dad and mom.

After giving birth to four children, Nick decided that he was tired of living a lie and began his journey transitioning to Dad.His journey is not only fascinating, but also an eye-opening lesson in the realities of gender bias that most of us face on a daily basis. So much more than a trans story, this is Nick North’s tale of bravery — an eye-opening interview that proves that the formula for being an amazing parent is simply living your truth while continuing to show up each and every day… with love.

If you’ve ever felt hurt or useless due to your child’s close relationship with your partner, you are NOT alone.

In today’s episode, host Kevin Seldon welcomes successful entrepreneur, Ari Bloom, who’s made a career out of manifesting the dreams of others while remaining behind the scenes — similar to his life as a parent. So, how does this versatile entrepreneur somehow still find the time to make his family a priority? The answer may surprise you…

Together, Kevin and Ari —Founder and CEO of A-Frame Brands, the company behind Kinlo (Naomi Osaka’s suncare brand), Loved01 (a skincare line from John Legend), and Proudly (a baby care line for children of color by Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union), as well as the co-founder of Wise Sons Delicatessen — share an honest discussion on everything from the power of transparency and the importance of fighting our tendencies toward auto-pilot, to why the concept of balance… is bullshit.

A hobby is defined as an activity done regularly in one’s leisure time for pleasure. However, as a parent, few of us are able to find the time (let alone the energy) for such “selfish” endeavors. But what’s selfish about finding a moment for yourself from time to time? What if a task as easy as starting a list of potential hobbies to pursue was the answer to opening your world to more joy, more energy, and more possibilities…
