Did you know that new fathers often face emotional hurdles that go unspoken? We explore the profound feelings of isolation, loss of control, and resentment many men encounter but rarely discuss. Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt, a powerhouse couple who have founded twelve companies and profitably exited three, join us to share their remarkable journey from business partners to parents. Hear the moving story of how Kurt’s father's passing catalyzed their decision to expand their family, leading to the births of their daughter and son. From dealing with the heartbreak of an unsuccessful first pregnancy to managing multiple business ventures, the Luidhardts offer a raw and honest look into their lives.

Kurt opens up about his experience with male postpartum depression (also known as paternal postnatal depression) particularly after the birth of their second child, and how societal expectations often leave fathers feeling neglected. Kristen adds her perspective on the importance of strong communication and the role of faith in overcoming such personal struggles. Learn how they managed to find balance and prioritize family time amidst their entrepreneurial hustle.

Parenting is no walk in the park, and the Luidhardts emphasize the importance of faith, intentionality, and teamwork. They share insights into this new passion project — bringing to light the reality of what fathers go through when having children — paternal postnatal depression. The Luidhardts have hearts of gold and feel like if sharing their experience can help others, they are grateful to be able to serve.
