What’s holding you back from joining a father support group like the Rad Dad Collective?

Matthew sits down with fellow dads, Braden and Adrian, to discuss the challenges and fears they faced when considering joining a support group for fathers. After a Circle Check In, the conversation centers around the hesitations, perceived risks, and wonders they had prior to entering their first dad circle meeting, shedding light on their personal journeys and experiences. From navigating high school stress with teenage kids to coaching sports while juggling busy schedules and screen time, the dads share their authentic and candid check-ins that ultimately led to their decisions to join and remain active in the Rad Dad Circle. Together, they explore the barriers they overcame and the unexpected benefits they gained from their support circle experiences. Join us as we uncover the real-life challenges and triumphs of modern fatherhood.
