Becoming a father changes everything — except the bits you thought it would. One year into fatherhood, Matty gets brutally honest about the joy, the exhaustion, the identity shifts, and the financial pressure that nobody on Instagram is talking about.

On this episode we covered:

• Why the actual parenting part is easier than everyone said it would be — and what's genuinely hard
• The sleep deprivation spiral that wrecked Matty's gym routine, food choices, and old binge eating patterns
• What the feminist and alpha-masculine narratives both got wrong about having kids
• How a collapsing business, a solo provider role, and a new baby collided in the same year
• The parenting choices Matty and Yali made that most people told them they'd never stick to
• What Matty's son Gabriel taught him about time, love, and what actually matters
• Why you can't hold yourself to the same standard across different seasons of life

Herbalism isn't the woo-woo, kitchen-herb world most people assume it is. Registered herbalist and author Rachelle Robinett, RH (AHG) unpacks what herbalism actually encompasses — and why it might be exactly what you've been looking for without knowing it. She covers the real difference between adaptogens and herbs (they're not the same thing), which plants support metabolism and blood sugar, and why the liver is one of the most overlooked players in your hormone and weight story.

Key Discussion Points:

• The reason "adaptogens" became a marketing buzzword and what they actually are
• Why herbalism is far broader than plants as medicine and what that means for your health
• The herb Rachelle calls her top three that most people have never considered for daily use
• What the wellness industry gets wrong about natural health, and why it matters to you
• The connection between liver function, hormone balance, and body composition that nobody talks about
