About this episode

Jonathan discusses the challenges and joys of being a girl dad, focusing on communication and the role of parents in their daughters' relationships.

This week, Jonathan gets into what it really means to be a girl dad . From the moment of finding out you’re raising daughters to navigating the rollercoaster of the teenage years, this conversation is equal parts honest and heartfelt. Jonathan talks about the importance of communication, trust, and staying connected—even when it’s uncomfortable. And of course—we go there. Dating, boys, standards, and the role parents play in shaping what their daughters accept (and don’t accept) in relationships. Nothing is off limits. Hosted on Acast.
