About this listen

 Raising daughters is not for the faint of heart. It is for the patient, the confused, and the guys who just stepped on a glitter-covered Lego at midnight. Welcome to the DODO Dads podcast, where dads of daughters come to laugh, learn and occasionally wonder how they became the emotional support human for a tiny person with big opinions and insatiable appetite for spending your money. This podcast is equal parts humor, honesty and survival guide for men navigating life with girls. From tea parties and eye rolls to big life conversations and everything in between, we cover what it really takes to be a present, engaged and slightly bewildered girl dad. Each episode features real conversations with dads who are in the trenches, have survived the teen years, or are trying to figure out what just happened. We talk about relationships, communication, confidence, and how to show up as the dad your daughter needs, even when you have no idea what you are doing.Copyright © 2026 by DODO Dads LLC Parenting Relationships Self-Help Success

    In Episode 005, Anthony Woolever describes navigating a blended family
    May 3 2026
    Today’s guest is Anthony Woolever. He is a dad raising six kids, including five daughters across a nearly 20-year age span. He’s navigating a blended family, teenage years, and even life with a newborn all at the same time. In this episode, Anthony shares what it really looks like to be a present, intentional father in a complicated world. First, you’ll hear how becoming a girl dad softened him and reshaped the way he approaches parenting, especially after a disciplined military background. Second, Anthony explains why critical thinking is one of the most important skills dads can teach their daughters today. Dads don’t need to teach their daughters what to think, but how to think. Third, we talk about independence, including how he lets his daughters make decisions, negotiate real-life situations, and even learn from mistakes while he serves as a safety net. Finally, Anthony opens up about the power of simply saying “I love you” every day, especially in a blended family where those words can make all the difference. This is a practical, honest conversation about raising strong, confident daughters in today’s world. Anthony brings a lot of hard-earned wisdom to the table as a dad of daughters. One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is the importance of showing up consistently. He said being a dad doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s as simple as asking about your daughter’s day and truly listening. He also emphasized encouraging curiosity, asking questions, and helping daughters to develop critical thinking skills prepares them for real life far better than trying to control every outcome. Another powerful lesson is letting daughters experience independence while still providing guidance. Anthony talked about giving them “just enough rope” to learn from their decisions while making sure they understand any consequences before they make them. Most importantly, he reinforced the value of expressing love. Saying “I love you” by showing it through actions, words, and taking an interest in what matters to your daughters builds confidence and strengthens your relationship over time.
