#70 - [FOR THE DADS] Cal and Peyton Callahan: On Surrendering to Parenthood & On Showing Up For Our Girls As Fathers

FOR THE DADS is a series of podcasts that will provide helpful insights to current or soon-to-be fathers! Cal and Peyton Callahan have become dear friends. I invited them on the podcast for a variety of reasons. They model the tribulations of conscious partnership and child-raising, and they have also created an e-book titled "She BECOMES: A Dad's Guide to His Developing Daughter", which provides information and language for fathers to become involved in their daughters' experiences in developing from adolescence through puberty into womanhood. We also get into the weeds on home birth, fear, issues within the medical industrial complex, birth as the re-birth of a woman, from maiden to motherhood, and the cycles of life. This interview brought tears to my eyes...I know you'll enjoy!
