Eddie Mraz - Chief Diaper Changer: Yeah, It’s a Thing! Ep. 4

This is a story you won't hear everyday. Eddie Mraz and his wife Alyssa have a very special baby boy. Their son Everett has a severe brain condition, medically known as TUBB2A. Everett requires full time bedside care right - 24 hours, 7 days a week. Non-stop. You heard me, this isn't a metaphor.

Eddie pressed pause on his growing career and embraced the new role of stay-at-home dad, aka Chief Diaper Changer. His post on LinkedIn about the big change went viral, REALLY viral. It had over 14,000,000 views and nearly 200,000 reactions.

He hasn’t written a book (yet), I'm sure that's coming one day. For now, he's living out the pages of that story, one dad-shift at a time.

You really need to hear his story.

We talk about faith, prayer and the struggle of constant stress. Eddie shares tips for dealing with high stress situations and ways to maintain mental health in spite of the situation you may find yourself in. He shares his past struggles with destructive habits and how to find new, healthier ways  to cope.

Eddie even walks through the mental battle of taking a cold shower at midnight! Hey, no one said this was easy!
