Modern Fatherhood, Co-Parenting & Blue Collar Dads | Men’s Mental Health, Marriage & Mentorship

Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.


In this episode, we sit down with Wes, host of the Modern Fatherhood Podcast, to have a real conversation about what it actually means to be a present father, husband, and provider in a blue collar world. We dig into modern fatherhood, co-parenting struggles, family court battles, and why so many men disappear from their kids’ lives after divorce when the co-parenting dynamic turns toxic. We break down “happy wife, happy life,” the cost of chasing overtime checks, burnout, depression, and how many dads are physically in the home but emotionally absent. If you’re a blue collar dad, single father, stay at home mom, or a wife trying to understand your husband better, this conversation will give you language and perspective around marriage priorities, work-life balance, and how to put your marriage and kids on solid ground.
You’ll also hear Wes share his story of becoming a young dad, buying houses, losing himself chasing money, gaining it all back in weight and stress, and then rebuilding his life with intention, men’s groups, and massive weight loss. We talk about building better men through mentorship, accountability, and community, the power of men calling each other out when we’re slipping, and why your social circle can either hold you down or force you to level up. We hit leadership in the home, how to be the man of the house without becoming a dictator, how to support a stay at home mom as a blue collar husband, and what provision really means beyond money. If you’re searching for fatherhood advice, co-parenting tips, men’s mental health support, or practical marriage advice for hard-working dads, this episode is for you.
