This is for anyone who is scared and struggling to understand what's going on. What's in store for your future? Getting a divorce doesn't mean your life is ruined. You can still have the life you want. I thought a lot of things were going to happen that didn't. I explain in this episode.

Been a while... 2 years, to be exact. I sat down with my guy Flor, aka Dad Style, to talk about what's been going on since we recorded the second round table. We covered new dad lessons we've learned as our daughters grow up. We also talked about how life has improved since our divorces. You don't want to miss it! You can find Flor aka Dad Style on IG @_dadstyle99_ and his website www.dadstyle99.com. You can also listen to his podcast: The Dad Style Podcast on whichever platform you ...
We had so much fun last year we decided to make it a yearly thing! I'm joined by Clint from Fatherhood Farms and Flor from Dad Style 99. We catch up on our lives over the last year as well as what has gone on with our children. In the wake of the Uvalde tragedy, we talk about how to address tough subjects with your children. We also talk about the City Dads Meetup group. A national Meetup group for, you guessed it, Dads! A great place to go link up with other dads in your area. We also talked ab...
You are worthy of all the good things. Good relationships, a good life, a good job, etc. I had an epiphany over the summer about the importance of setting intentions and having high self-worth. Of course, I have a real life story about it. The evidence is anecdotal, but if it can happen for me, that means it can happen for anyone. If you are struggling or know anyone struggling with divorce recovery, email me at singledadreboot@gmail.com or find me on IG or TikTok @singledadreboot and setup a 1-...
I'm baaaaack!!!! Life has been interesting the last 6 months. I explain.... My last episode was 6 months ago. It was supposed to be part 1 of a 2 part series. Rather than kick in with part 2 so much later, I'm re-upping part 1 this week and will be back with part 2 next week. Part 2 is where it gets good. Part 1 is on the importance of setting intentions for yourself. Part 2 is about self-worth. You don't want to miss either. Hit me on IG or TikTok @singledadreboot or email: singledadreboot@gmai...
What happens when you set intentions for yourself and you step towards those intentions? I set MAJOR intentions in my life on 10/30/2019 and the changes in my life during the 2 years since have been amazing. Tune in as I tell the story of what happened. It's mind-blowing!
Me personally, I've gotten derailed from a few goals I was striving for this year. I've really struggled with getting back on track. I'm not sure if it's the seasonal change, excitement from this past summer (which I go into), or something else. Either way, it's time to get back on track. I've been doing a lot of thinking about motivation and whether or not you can create it or if it just shows up randomly. Is there a quick way to develop it? Is it a passive "feeling"? Just some quick thoughts I...
As promised, Chad and I get DIRECTLY to the shits in this part of the interview. We talk about the concept behind his perfectly titled: There's Always a Girl Story and how that came about. We talk about the always interesting topic of dating as a single dad and the ever important question of, "What about bringing your child around your potential partner???". We actually do a lot of talking about relationship dynamics in general and what each of us thinks makes a relationship tick and what it tak...
This episode was recorded all the way back in late June 2021 with the homey Chad Milner. Chad is a multi-talented, well, human being. He is one of the original Dad Blogger/Dad Influencers. He’s a single dad, a writer, a musician, singer & rapper, videographer, and photographer and he EXCELS at all of those things. Chad and I ended up sitting and talking long enough that I had to break this interview up into 2 parts. In the first part we talk about his journey as a single dad and dealin...
3 single dads going through the same thing in 3 different places! Father's Day just passed and I thought, with a little prodding from my girlfriend (okay, it was solely her idea), that I should do a roundtable to catch up with Clinton and Flor. 2 of my OG friends from IG and the Dad space. We all met in person at the Dad 2.0 conference in Washington DC in February 2020 about 2-3 weeks before the world was thrown into a Covid19 panic. I thought it would be cool to get the 3 of us together and tal...
Part 2 of my amazing interview with Nick Diunte! This part of the interview is where we talk about personal finance and investing. Nick drops a lot of knowledge on where you can do research if you are just getting into the investing game as well as great resources if you are just starting to get your financial house in order. Both are extremely important for everyone, but especially to anyone going through divorce that has to figure out any kind of alimony and child support. I definitely didn't ...
For this episode I sat down with my man Nick Diunte. What initially was what I thought was going to be a discussion about perseverance/hard work, and personal finance/investment, wound up turning into an old school phone call between teenagers that went on and on. Nick and I chopped it up on quite a few things. We did cover the aforementioned perseverance/hard work, as evidenced by his successfully walking on to 2 college baseball teams and the lessons he carried over into other parts of his lif...
An episode that has nothing to do with baseball, but plenty do with crying... *vulnerability warning*. I hit one of my big 2021 goals this week and as I basked in the glory of accomplishing it, it brought up a lot of raw emotion and just overall revelations about things like self-confidence, goals, and how we view ourselves as humans. I thought some of of it might resonate, so I decided to share. Even the part where I cry.
Life throws you some crazy curveballs. They're unavoidable, but when your kids are involved, as a man and a father, you step up and do what needs to be done. For the sake of your kids at the very least. This week I talk to my friend Rick from @dadlifeaccordingtorick (on IG and Youtube) and he shares his story. There are a lot of twists and turns in this one, but ultimately, Rick stepped up, and did what needed to be done. Trust me, you don't want to miss this one.
Back after a long break! This week I discuss the importance of your time and what my biggest fear is. The passing of time and how we spend it has been on my mind a lot lately. I wanted to break down some things I've been meditating on that hopefully inspire you to think about your time as well.
As I mentioned a few episodes back, my #1 goal this year is to get my health and fitness in check. I've been posting weekly progress check-ins on IG, but I wanted to provide a check-in for anyone not on IG and also delve a little deeper into what I've learned so far. It's been a crazy journey and I've learned so much about myself, my body, and what I'm capable of. I know a lot of people struggle with health and fitness, so I'm hoping my lessons learned might provide some perspective and maybe gi...
Life has a way of building you up and tearing you down. Or rather, I should say that the choices you make and actions you take have a way of building you up and tearing you down. I believe everyone struggles with accepting responsibility for themselves. At least at some point in their life. A lot of people don't ever actually reach that point of being able to accept that your life is a direct reflection of your actions and behaviors. My Friend Clinton was forced to learn this lesson in a v...
Finally getting around to telling my story. As the cliff notes version. Hoping this inspires anyone feeling downtrodden, depressed, hurt, angry, or whatever other horrible feeling you might have coming off your divorce, to keep going. It gets better. You will heal. And if you use this setback properly, you’ll be a better person and parent after.
This week I give my 1 week fitness check-in, with a fairly important lesson learned, right off the bat. Going forward I'll be splitting these updates out into their own short separate episodes. I'll give my progress, struggles, and lessons learned from the previous week. I also have my first ever listener question. I was asked to expand more on what I mentioned last week about the unglamorous things that go into accomplishing your mission and goals. Things like planning ahead, routines, co...
My big 2021 self challenge reveal! I also give a couple of things to keep in mind as we strive to accomplish our goals in 2021.
This week I share some of the most important lessons I learned this year. I learned a lot about myself and the world around me. Hopefully you can find value in these lessons as well. Send questions and comments to singledadreboot@gmail.com follow me on IG: @singledadreboot
The holidays are upon us and it can be a tough time for single parents. Maybe you have just separated and don’t have an arrangement yet. Maybe you just started your custody arrangement and you’ll be spending some days alone and you’re not sure what you’re going to do. Today I talk with My good friend Flor from @dad_style99 about our experiences with navigating the holidays as single dads. Lots of good info in the show today for those who are struggling with the holiday blues that sometimes come ...
I started a new thing. Or maybe I just hijacked something trendy sounding for Fridays? Who knows? Anyway, these are going to be mini-episodes I post from time-to-time. As the name "Freestyle Friday" implies, these will be quick episodes off the top of the dome (as my 90's rap fans would say). I just take a topic and address it. No script, no plan, just in the moment. Which is fitting because this week I talk about how important it is to be present, enjoy, and fully soak up the little thing...
As 2020 comes to a close, it's time for some self-reflection and accountability for ourselves before we dive headfirst into 2021 New Years Resolutions. You have to be completely honest with yourself and your actions over the last year. I talk about what self-reflection is and isn't. Why it's important for everyone and I lay out some questions you can ask yourself to drill down into your progress or lack of progress so you can overcome obstacles on your next attempt. Leave me a ...
Taking it all the way back to middle school science class this week. Atoms, energy, frequencies, vibrations...I leave no stone unturned discussing my beliefs on gratitude and why it’s important. With all the amazing content on thankfulness and gratitude I saw last week, I thought I’d attack it from a different angle. Plus, more importantly, I planned poorly and didn’t get my episode in on time. 😂🤦🏼
Insecurity, low self-esteem, and self-limiting beliefs are things I’ve battled with over the years. As my daughter moves towards her teen years I notice her saying things that just aren’t true and I don’t want those false beliefs implanting themselves in her mind. I want to help equip her with the knowledge and tools to build a strong mindset. This is how I’m approaching that.
In the words of the immortal Ronnie Coleman, everyone wants to get big, but nobody wants to lift heavy ass weights! Apply that to anything in your life. Everybody wants to do or be something, but do they want to do the work? That’s why the journey is so important. You can’t have some things until you become the person the journey creates along the way. There is no easy way around it. The easy way is THROUGH. Follow me on instagram @singledadreboot. Send me an email if you have any questions you ...
"Rock Bottom" moments can be brought about by numerous things. Depression, divorce, breakups, addictions, any kind of major loss, and sometimes all of those things together. What do you do with the hopelessness you feel with you get there? This episode is for anyone who hit their rock bottom and never recovered, just recently hit their rock bottom and feels like they can't continue, or might have a rock bottom moment approaching on the horizon. I interview my friend and trainer Joe Callari...
Part 2 of What you can do to get over your breakup/separation/divorce. This episode picks up after the emotional chaos starts to calm and you start to feel better. I talk about the things I did that helped me pick myself back up and continue to help me today in tough times.
How do you move past a breakup? A separation? A divorce? I’m sharing what I did and have done. I’m breaking this into 2 parts. Part 1 is for the mental and emotional part. Part 2 will cover the actual work.
