This year, I finally asked someone.   So many conversations about the newborn phase center on moms \u2014 and rightfully so. But dads are going through something too. A quieter, lonelier, harder-to-name something. And when nobody names it, it can quietly unravel your marriage in ways neither of you sees coming.   In this episode, I sit down with Eli Weinstein \u2014 licensed clinical therapist, husband, and dad of two (with one more on the way) \u2014 for a real, human conversation about the dad experience. Eli hosts the Dude Therapist Podcast, has been featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show, and just released his book From I Do to We Do: Navigating Relationships Through the Parenting Years (grab it here \u2192 https:\/\/amzn.to\/4f2QPvT). Find him at eliweinsteinlcsw.com and on Instagram\/TikTok at @eliweinstein_lcsw and @thedudetherapist.   In this episode we get into: The 'pushout' \u2014 what it is, why it happens, and why most moms don't even realize they're doing it Eli's IVF journey and what it taught him and his wife about emotional support The panic attack he had weeks after his daughter was born \u2014 and what it was really telling him Why taking paternity leave solo completely changed his relationship with his daughter What it looks like to find your place as a dad when everything revolves around mom and baby   This is Part 1 of a 2-part Father's Day series. Follow the show so you catch Part 2 next week, where Eli comes back to talk about the real costs of fatherhood \u2014 and what we can do as partners to meet dads where they are.   Rate and review the podcast \u2014 it means the world and helps other moms find the show. \ud83d\udcd6 Grab Eli's book From I Do to We Do: https:\/\/amzn.to\/4f2QPvT \ud83c\udf10 Eli's website: https:\/\/www.eliweinsteinlcsw.com\/ Leave a voice message: www.momsguidetofindingherself.com Get the Mom Identity Starter Kit ($17): www.momidentityproject.com\/starterkit Join the Memo: www.momidentityproject.com ","author_name":"Mom's Guide to Finding Herself: Rediscovering Identity and Joy in Motherhood","author_url":"https:\/\/www.momsguidetofindingherself.com","html":"
