Ep. 491: What Are Your Kids Saying That You Need to Hear Differently?

Fatherhood Field Notes

Ned shares a raw and relatable story about a small moment with big impact—forgetting something important to his daughter and reacting in frustration. Through reflection and a powerful late-night chat with fellow dads, Ned dives into the often-overlooked difference between being justified and being effective in our parenting. With authenticity and vulnerability, he challenges fathers to look beyond their own stress and ego to cultivate connection, trust, and tenderness—especially with their daughters. This is a must-listen for any dad who’s ready to show up more intentionally and grow through the everyday moments that matter most.
