Supporting dads in their parenthood journey with Jeff Hittner, founder of the Ambitious Dads Project

In this episode, Dr. Marissa Caudill interviews Jeff Hittner of the Ambitious Dads Project to discuss the challenges dads face in parenthood, and how we can best support them. Jeff discusses the challenges he faced in having to accept his infertility on the path to becoming a father, and how that challenge gave him the gift of having to embrace imperfection and failure and vulnerability before he even became a dad. We also discuss the difficulty dads face with self-criticism and shame, and how co-parents can best support fathers to step into their vital and important role in their kids' lives.
