#15 John Stacey | Being a Present Dad: The Hard Truth Most Men Won't Admit

Deliberate Dad

About

Most dads won't say this stuff out loud. John does.

The guilt. The mental load. The tension between presence and pressure. The joy and the rage sometimes in the same bloody moment.

If you've ever thought "I love my kids... but this is really hard" this one's for you.

What You'll Learn:

→ The difference between being busy and being deliberate (and why most dads get it wrong)

→ Why "being there" doesn't mean you're actually present

→ How John creates micro-moments that matter (even on mental days)

→ What "repairing the rupture" means — and why it beats getting it right first time

→ How talking to your partner shapes the dad you become

→ Why you don't need to "do it all" (and what to do instead)

→ Simple ways to create powerful moments when you're absolutely knackered

→ Why being normal is your superpower
