Hey Anxiety Fam, Dr. Russ here! This week's episode is for all the amazing dads out there. We're tackling a big one: emotional well-being in fatherhood.
Joining me is Ian Abbott, a single dad on a mission to help dads embrace their feelings. We'll chat about the challenges men face, how it impacts kids, and (bonus!) how to break free from those "tough guy" stereotypes.
This episode is your invitation to prioritize your emotional health for a stronger, happier family.
Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
