About this listen
Parenting isn’t a polished formula, it’s a series of experiments, regrets, do-overs, and unexpected grace. In this episode, Nick kicks things off with an honest confession: he’s failing his way through this dad thing… and maybe that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be.
From there, he walks through three snapshots of real life in the trenches:
- The Waiting Year – the long, confusing season of trying to get pregnant while it seemed effortless for everyone else, and the quiet lessons learned about timing, trust, and hope.
- The War Year – the brutal stretch after their daughter was born: no sleep, postpartum depression, simmering resentment, and a marriage that felt like it was coming apart at the seams… and what it took to start finding “us” again.
- The Crab Incident – a late-night emergency room trip at the beach, a very dramatic four-year-old, a “self-inflicted injury,” and a hallway full of nurses laughing at Nick’s unfiltered dad moment.
Through the humor and the heartbreak, Nick comes back to one simple truth: failure isn’t proof you’re a bad parent. It’s proof you’re still trying, still showing up, and still loving your kids on purpose, even when you feel like you’re walking like a crab through the chaos.
