Dad's Mental Health - Formerly known as “Dad Mind Matters,” is a newly rebranded podcast for new dads, stay-at-home dads, working dads, and sleep-deprived legends just trying to do their best.
Hosted by James, a husband, father of three, and resident of Brighton, UK—this show brings honest, relatable chats about what it really means to be a modern dad.
Welcome to Dad's Mental Health
The podcast for new and seasoned dads navigating the rollercoaster of fatherhood with a smile, a groan-worthy dad joke, and honest conversations about mental health.
In this intro episode, host James (a happily married dad of three living near Brighton) shares why he changed the podcast name from Dad Mind Matters, what you can expect moving forward, and how stories from other dads—along with some cold showers, jujitsu, and questionable songs—have helped him manage anxiety, OCD, and daily stress.
Whether you're wiping bums before breakfast or sneaking chocolate biscuits during nap time, this podcast is your reminder: you’re not alone, and it’s okay to laugh while figuring it all out.
