387- Sobriety, Fatherhood, and Starting Over, with The Tired Dad, Jon Gustin

You’re listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I’m joined by Jon Gustin, aka The Tired Dad. In this conversation, we get into what it really looks like to grow into parenthood, not just step into it. We talk about emotional regulation, breaking generational patterns, navigating partnership, and what it takes to show up for your kids in ways many of us didn’t experience growing up. Jon shares openly about his journey, including finding sobriety, and redefining what it means to be an engaged, present parent.

This one is honest, grounding, and a reminder that we’re all learning as we go. Alright folks, let’s dive in.
