Show Notes "How I got interested in what I'm doing for work, kind of starts before I was born." (2:40) "When I see what education and support can do for dads, it makes me all the more passionate about it." (4:40) "Women and children are just more vulnerable when there isn't a positive dad, or man, in the home." (8:34) "We still do offer the coaching after the baby is born, typically until the child is 4 to 6 months because we do know that is a very overwhelming time."
