New Dads

Becoming a father is like getting a job where you've never worked before, in an industry you don't understand, with a boss who can't talk—and everyone expects you to know what you're doing.

The transition to fatherhood brings physical exhaustion, emotional overwhelm, and a complete reorganization of your identity, relationships, and priorities. Add sleep deprivation and constant worry about doing everything wrong, and it's no wonder new dads feel lost.
