In preparation for our upcoming third season, we're excited to present our RePlay Series, beginning with an episode favorite from Season One.


A #DadTruth is a simple statement that breaks down barriers by shedding insight into the modern fatherhood experience to reveal the differences and, often times, the many similarities between parents of any gender, race, creed or sexual orientation.

DadTruth

DILF host, Kevin Seldon, provides an update on upcoming season 3, as well as the launch of a new nonprofit called ALL PARENTS WELCOME (APW) - a global coalition of parents working to create more support and inclusivity within parenting culture, where DILF will be donating the majority of its proceeds going forward. To learn more about APW or to sign up to join the parent coalition, visit https://join.apw.ngo


Kevin also discusses what he's been working on since the end of DILF season 2 — the creation of new book: a sanity-saving guide to better support the new dads, providing the tools needed to become the type of actively-engaged, emotionally-evolved parent that every partner and child needs and deserves. SO, if you’re a new or expectant parent, or a dad who could have ever used more support, or a mom who wishes your partner had more resources to better support you and themselves… this is your opportunity to make that a reality for new parents across the globe with 100% of net proceeds donated back to APW. To contribute (every little bit helps), visit https://daffy.apw.ngo

The Importance of Paid Leave for Both Moms AND Dads | Congressman Jimmy Gomez

It's time to fight outdated stereotypes. It's time for parenting culture to invite dads into the conversation... cuz we're already here... and we're not going anywhere.

The Road to Happy

It’s no secret that the world treats men and women very differently… and the same goes for moms and dads; however, truly comprehending what it’s like for the opposite sex is no easy task. Kevin welcomes Nick North, a trans man with the rare experience of living life as both dad and mom. After giving birth to four children, Nick decided that he was tired of living a lie and began his journey transitioning to Dad. 

His journey is not only fascinating but an eye-opening lesson in the realities of gender bias that most of us face on a daily basis. So much more than a trans story, this is Nick North's tale of bravery — an eye-opening interview that proves that the formula for being an amazing parent is simply living your truth while continuing to show up each and every day... with love.

The Key To Accessing More JOY (DILF Quick Hit)

Parenting is one of life’s greatest gifts, yet it can also be stressful, exhausting, and extremely lonely... but YOU ARE NOT ALONE. This podcast was built on the belief that the best way to build community is by digging in and getting honest with ourselves. This is not a place for advice as much as it’s about finding connection with other parents (no matter your gender) who know exactly what you’re going through. Yes, this is a parenting podcast; and while we do discuss issues that revolve around life with kids, we focus more on the life of a human... who happens to be a parent, and how to balance the multitude of hats we wear on a daily basis while attempting to be the best version of ourselves for our partners, our children, and our own personal well-being. // New episodes released the 1st Thurs of every month :: Featured by everyone from People Magazine to ScaryMommy, this podcast has broken onto Apple’s Top 50 Parenting Podcast charts across the globe and recently hit #6 on the US charts :: To join in on the conversation, find us on Instagram @DILFpodcast //
