In this episode, Shane and Pete sit down for a raw and relatable follow-up to Joel’s powerful story from the previous episode. The boys reflect on the emotional layers of Joel’s birth experience, his honesty around anxiety, and the deeper lessons in communication, self-care, and presence in fatherhood. They also dive into their own parenting challenges, including the social media detox challenge, Shane’s 5am reset, and a brutal "poo trail" moment that has to be heard to be believed!
Whether you're a first-time dad, sleep-deprived parent, or just trying to keep your head above water, this ep is packed with insight, laughs, and heart.
📌 In This Episode:
Pete and Shane reflect on the birth trauma Joel experienced, and how calmly (on the outside) he handled internal chaos
