Episode 32: Paternal Coaching with Ryan Brown- ICF Accredited Coach

This week on The Art of Parenting, we're flipping the script on fatherhood.

Join us as we sit down with Ryan Brown, an ICF accredited coach who creates space for dads to heal, reconnect, and redefine what it means to show up. From navigating single fatherhood and post-divorce anxiety to blending masculinity with emotional intelligence, Ryan shares real talk on building a dad-centric community that actually listens.

We get into:

• Why so many dads feel isolated (and what to do about it)
• The emotional toll of missing out on milestone moments
• Postpartum mental health for men (yes, it’s real)
• The girl-dad panic and how embracing it builds trust
• Building a healthy co-parenting dynamic after divorce
• Why "redefining strength" is the parenting flex we all need

Ryan also lets us in on the upcoming book he’s co-writing with his ex (!) and how helping dads reconnect with their identity post-divorce is helping heal families from the inside out.

This episode is for anyone raising kids, reimagining fatherhood, or looking to build bridges where silence once lived.

🧡 Tap in. Let’s de-stigmatize the dad journey, one conversation at a time.
