  • Rethinking Modern Fatherhood, Mental Health, & Masculinity | Kevin Maguire (EP452)

    Rethinking Modern Fatherhood, Mental Health, & Masculinity | Kevin Maguire (EP452)
    May 13 2026
    Fatherhood is changing - but many of the expectations around it haven’t.Today I’m joined by Kevin Maguire, author of The New Fatherhood, for a conversation that challenges the traditional scripts many men are still trying to follow and why those scripts are no longer serving families.Kevin’s work is rooted in both personal experience and research. After the birth of his second child, he experienced severe paternal postpartum depression - something rarely talked about, especially among men. In this episode, he shares how it showed up for him, why it often goes unrecognized, and what helped him begin to heal.We also explore the “invisible load” fathers carry today - the pressure to provide, be present, succeed at work, and stay emotionally grounded - all while navigating identity shifts and often shrinking social circles.More importantly, Kevin offers a hopeful path forward: a new model of fatherhood that makes room for vulnerability, connection, and sustainability.Links Discussed in This Episode |Checkout the podcast storefront for recommendations from Diane.Subscribe to the Minimalist Moms Youtube ChannelBook: Mindfulness in Plain EnglishBook: Waking Up by Sam HarrisKevin's Resource: On Being with Krista Tippett (Podcast)Connect with Kevin:WebsiteInstagramSubstackPodcastBook: The New Fatherhood: Why Everything They Told You About Being a Dad Is Wrong and How Embracing It Will Transform Your LifeAbout Kevin |Kevin Maguire is the creator of The New Fatherhood newsletter, read by tens of thousands of dads in 150+ countries.

    Stop Second-Guessing Your Parenting: Why Systems Matter More Than Perfect Decisions | Danielle & Greg Neufeld (EP451)
    May 12 2026
    What if confident parenting isn’t about making the “right” decision in every moment - but about building a family system you trust? In this episode, I’m joined by Danielle and Greg Neufeld, hosts of The Most Important Thing, to explore how leadership principles from high-performing teams can translate into family life. We talk about the subtle ways modern parenting advice creates second-guessing, why focusing on process over perfection can shift everything, and how to define success through a long-term lens. Danielle and Greg also share practical ways to approach decision-making, repair after conflict, and create a culture of trust at home. This conversation offers a grounded, refreshing perspective for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to get parenting “right.”Links Discussed in This Episode |Checkout the podcast storefront for recommendations from Diane.Subscribe to the Minimalist Moms Youtube ChannelDanielle's Resource: 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation―And Making Your Own Life Easier Greg's Resource: The 12 Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months | Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free ProductivityConnect with Greg & Danielle:Linktree: linktr.ee/themostimpthingYouTube: youtube.com/@themostimpthingInstagram: instagram.com/themostimpthingWebsite: tmitpod.comAbout Danielle & Greg |Danielle and Greg Neufeld are the hosts of The Most Important Thing, a podcast exploring the idea that family is the most important team we will ever build.

I love everything about this podcast and the previous show minimalist moms. My favorite episodes past and present address increasing time outside/reducing screen time, parenting, people pleasing/boundary setting, and how to declutter individual places in the home and non-physical areas of your life.
