Description
Raise your hand if you’re sort of done with the buzz phrase work/life balance? Same. As parents, the balance that we strike every day goes far more granular than just “work” and “life.” Stress, mindfulness, nourishment, sleep, play, relationships, role modeling, mental health, social life… that’s a challenging equilibrium! And when you don’t put in the work to keep this balance in check, it can easily slip out of whack. Dad of three and early adopter of Modern Dadhood, Keith Belanger, joins us to discuss that balancing act. Don’t drop off before the “Piano Man” challenge, and a ROFLMAO-worthy new segment Kisses & Disses.Episode 73 of Modern Dadhood opens with some laughter about the hosts' inability to grow real facial hair, and a brief back-to-school catch up. The guys quickly welcome Keith Belanger into chat. Keith divides his time between managing operations for a transportation company and entertaining crowds from behind a piano. And when he's not doing those things, he's a devoted husband and a father of three young boys. Keith speaks candidly about how he balances the various aspects of his personal life and professional life in a single income family. Keith also shares about his history as a Modern Dadhood listener, learning of the show very early on. At the end of the chat, things get bit playful when Marc quizzes Keith on Billy Joel lyrics.Don't skip out before the end... we debut a new segment (complete with a theme song from Adam's eight-year-old) called Kisses & Disses.LINKS:Keith Belanger Music (official)Keith Belanger on InstagramKeith Belanger on YouTubeRed Vault AudioSpencer AlbeeCaspar BabypantsStuffed Animal

Making Presence A Priority | Musician Tyler Ramsey on Focused Fatherhood: This world is full of distractions. And those nagging distractions often pull us away from the people we care about the most. Tyler Ramsey, solo artist and former songwriter and lead guitarist for Band Of Horses, has actively worked to create a life for his family that reduces distraction and promotes living in the moment. In this episode, he shares that when he’s not touring the world on a bus, a slower-paced, self-sufficient lifestyle leads to a deeper connection with nature and his family. by Modern Dadhood | Unpacking Fatherhood + Parenting for Dads (and Moms!)
