In this episode of Ask Dad, we’re handing out full permission to play—because laugh lines aren’t just signs of joy, they’re signs of life. If you’ve been taking everything a little too seriously, it’s time to loosen the grip. Joy doesn’t have to wait for perfect circumstances—it can sneak in right where you are. We’ll also hear from a college student overwhelmed by the pressure of school and work, struggling to keep anxiety at bay. Let’s talk about finding balance, creating breathing room, and remembering that even in the chaos, joy is still on the table.
The love is real and the man is real - we talk about it all. The good. The bad. The Dad.

Abundance Mindset: Seeing Life’s Gifts Beyond the Bank Account
What does abundance really mean? Is it about wealth, success, or something deeper? In this episode of Ask Dad, we’re shifting perspectives on abundance—because it’s not just about money in the bank, but about the richness of our experiences, relationships, and personal growth. We’ll explore how an abundance mindset can change the way you approach challenges, opportunities, and even setbacks. Plus, we’ve got a listener question from someone who recently stepped into a new chapter of life and is feeling the absence of deep emotional connection. When the people and places that once grounded you are no longer close by, how do you cultivate a sense of abundance in relationships and belonging? Let’s talk about what it really means to have enough—and how to start seeing abundance in everyday life.
