Postpartum depression isn’t just a mother’s struggle, dads can experience it too.

In this powerful episode of The Sunday Meeting, Nic opens up about his journey with male postpartum depression: the signs he didn’t see coming, the pressure to “man up,” and the toll it took on him as a new dad.

Cassidy shares what it was like to support her partner through an invisible battle, the moments she got right, and the ones she wishes she’d handled differently. Together, they explore why men’s postpartum depression is rarely discussed, how it impacts relationships and parenting, and what couples can do to spot the warning signs early.

If you’re a parent, partner, or anyone who wants to understand the full picture of postpartum mental health, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of The Sunday Meeting, we dive into the messy, complicated, and deeply personal world of daddy issues.

For Cassidy, growing up with a dad who could be happy one minute and angry the next and then losing him a year ago, left a trail of love, fear, and unanswered questions. For Nic, his dad leaving when he was just six weeks old created a different kind of wound: absence.

Together, we talk about how those experiences show up in our relationship today, from triggers in arguments to the way we parent our kids. We also bring in research on how “daddy issues” aren’t just a cliché, but are rooted in attachment theory and the way we learn to love.

Plus, we answer audience questions like:
– Can you really break cycles of abandonment, or just learn to manage them?
– How do you grieve a parent when the relationship was complicated?
– What happens when your partner pays for your dad’s mistakes?

This one is raw, vulnerable, and maybe a little uncomfortable, but it’s exactly why we sit down for The Sunday Meeting.

Welcome to the new Sunday Meeting.

I’m Nic, and this is Cassidy. We’re partners, parents of three, and now co-hosts. What started as Cassidy’s podcast is now officially ours. Each week, we’ll sit down for an hour to unpack the real stuff: love, parenting, conflict, and the messy middle where it all collides.

In this episode, we introduce the new format, talk about why we’re making this shift, and share what you can expect from THIS Season from daddy issues to parenting without a village, sex after kids, and even the dumbest fights we still laugh about.

This is not advice. It’s just us, being real, once a week. Welcome to The Sunday Meeting.
