About this listen
This episode explores the emotional terrain of letting go and showing up. I reflect on the early days of co-parenting — the handovers, the tension, and the quiet rituals that helped my son feel safe — and how those lessons continue to shape the way I parent today.
From the big goodbyes of long-distance fatherhood to the daily drop-offs at daycare, I’ve learned that transitions are where connection is built — if we stay present and consistent through them.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
The power of predictable handovers and simple goodbye rituals
Why short, steady transitions work best for kids
Lessons from co-parenting through conflict with compassion
How long-distance parenting shaped my approach to daily connection
A reminder that presence matters more than perfection
