Ep. 103: Dad Guild— Fatherhood, Identity, and Social Expectations in Everyday Life
Episode 103
Monday, 16 February, 2026

In this episode of Resilience Radio, Irvin Eisenberg and Keegan Albaugh continue their conversation, building on themes from Part 1 and exploring how fatherhood, identity, and social expectations show up in real-world experiences. This discussion moves into the lived side of parenting—what it feels like to step into caregiving roles, how fathers are perceived in public, and the challenges many men face navigating expectations around vulnerability, responsibility, and identity. Key topics include: ✅ How fathers are perceived in caregiving roles ✅ Why many men feel unprepared for parenthood ✅ The tension between vulnerability and social expectations ✅ Real-world experiences of parenting in public spaces ✅ The role of community in supporting identity and connection Music Credit: https://aaronmarcus.bandcamp.com/track/finlays-menopausal-fridge-some-biological-process Listen on Libsyn: https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/resilience Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ResilienceOTRadio Book an Appointment with Irvin: https://scheduling.go.promptemr.com/onlineScheduling?w=356&s=DL Dad Guild: https://www.dadguild.org
