The Professional Step-Dad Show ·

2021/07/19

As Step-Dad's, our plans, and the way things turn out, rarely ever resemble each other. On today's episode I talk about why our job should be to focus all of our attention on positively anticipate failures without overacting to the results. If we can learn to PIVIOT instead of POUT, we increase our Step-Parenting chances of success over time. Look, bad things are going to happen so you should do your best to anticipate failure because UNEXPECTED failure is discouraging. Website:

It's okay to take time for yourself | Episode 069

The Professional Step-Dad Show ·

2021/07/16

Being a great Step-Dad requires that you set aside "REAL TIME" for yourself no matter what! Trust me Step-Dad's, there is nothing wrong with it! We, as Step-Dad's, tend to lose focus on the things that anchor us in this world. It's the something we do, outside of our focus on the family, that allows us time to decompress and refocus. It's no secret, your metal stability is extremely important! It's your responsibility, if you plan on becoming a great leader, mentor, and father to your new family,

How to teach an old dog new tricks | Episode 068

The Professional Step-Dad Show ·

2021/07/01

On today's episode I talk about the STUPIDITY behind the phrase "You can't teach an old dog new tricks". This phrase is an EXCUSE to quit. This phrase is an excuse to justify failures. This phrase is the definition behind the meaning of inherited ignorance that has been handed down by generations of quitters. Make no mistake about it Step-Dads, if you subscribe to this type of thinking, PLEASE walk away NOW before you further tarnish our mission to change the narrative. Website:

There are 2 sides to every story and every story is unique in it's own way. There will be very tough choices you must make as a Step-Dad but the flip side to that coin are the tough choices Bio-Mom has to make as well.

Embrace the Blank Canvas | Episode 065

The Professional Step-Dad Show ·

2021/06/18

Do you know what it means to start over, with a blank canvas, free from your past? Today's episode focuses on the importance of embracing the Blank Canvas, as a Step-Dad, so that you can become the best leader, mentor, spouse, and father you can be. You have to be willing to let go of something of a "LESSER" value in order to obtain something of a "GREATER" value! That means letting go of the man you were before you began you new journey as a Step-Dad. Enjoy....... Website:

Step-Dad's, it's you responsibility to stay focused on the process of becoming the best man, leader, husband, and father that you can be. It's not enough to say you want to have a happy family who loves and respects each other. You have to be willing to put in the work and do what it takes to better yourself for the future. If you are wanting respect or you are seeking value and validation, doing the WORK is the only thing that can get you close to your vision. Are you willing to do the work? Are

No DNA? It's Okay | Episode 063

The Professional Step-Dad Show ·

2021/06/14

Today I wanted to share a personal experience I have been dealing with as it pertains to my kids, them not having my DNA, and my "Bloodline" family members treating them like outsiders. Actions speak louder than words right? Well, I have heard my families loud and clear and I am disappointed. I get it, my 5 kids don't have my DNA, and unconsciously they are choosing to pass on the chance to really get to know them. All I can do from here on out is love them from a distance and be grateful for any

2021/06/08

No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. No matter what image "Social Media" portrays, in regards to your journey as a Step-Dad, we all have our problems and we are all learning how to be the best we can be. I mess up all the time! I slip back into old habits all the time! I forget to apply what I have learned all the time but that is OKAY! Mistakes are needed so that you may grow as a Step-Dad....

Learn to Channel the Negative | Episode 060

The Professional Step-Dad Show ·

2021/06/05

One of the hardest things to do, as a Step-Dad, is developing the skills and the patience to turn all the negative comments into positive fuel. This is not one of those "easier said than done" type of scenarios because it's very hard in every way you can imagine but can work wonders in your life if you can learn to channel the negative energy to work for you instead of against you.

It's okay to ask for HELP | Episode 059

The Professional Step-Dad Show ·

2021/05/14

Most Step-Dad's, hell most men, are to afraid to ask for help because it makes you look WEAK. That is how I was raised for sure and I would bet that the vast majority of men were raised the same way. Asking for help does not make you look weak by any means. On the contrary. NOT asking for help NOT seeking guidance, and NOT allowing others into your thoughts, demonstrates a clear sign of weakness as a leader, father, and partner. The inability to NOT communicate your thoughts, especially with

A Step-Dad's Inner Struggle | Episode 058

2021/05/11

Every stepdad, who makes the conscious decision to move forward on his journey, must first accept the challenge of overcoming self doubt and facing their inner struggles. Each of us, when faced with overcoming inner struggles, will either turn us into a Professional Step-Dad over time or fold at the first sign of real adversity. You can't escape "YOU" so you might as well do everything you can to turn the OLD YOU into someone that can handle any situation as a pro... Your Choice Website:

Changing Your Perception | Episode 056

The Professional Step-Dad Show ·

2021/05/05

Step-Parents, in general, begin their journey guarded while they anticipate judgment from others. It's definitely not something we plan but it is something we inherit. They key, to maintaining focus and determination, hands down is OUR PERCEPTION. Perception is EVERYTHING when it comes to our journey as Step-Dad's. We tend to focus on; How we "Perceive" our environment How we "Perceive" our parenting How we "Perceive" our marriage and relationship Just remember that "PERCEPTION" is relevant and

Maintaining your persistence as a Step-Dad is a lot easier said than done. It's vert easy to become complacent as a stepparent, especially if you feel like your work is done. Your work is never done, not just as a Step-Parent, but as a parent in general. - You have to stay persistent in your personal development and growth! - You have to stay persistent as you build a strong and dynamic relationship with your partner! - You have to stay persistent with the amount of time, energy and effort you

Do you ever have those conversations with people, randomly throughout your day, that say something to you which turns on a light of creativity and awareness? For me, that conversation took place this week with another podcaster who goes by the name of The Cardigan Cowboy. He said something that stuck with me until the next day which inspired today's episode. He told me that, as a 31 year old single man, he is aware that it's more likely he’ll be a Step-Dad rather than having kids of his own. That

Two Cents Worth | Episode 053

2021/02/13

One of the hardest things to do, not only as a Step-Dad but as a human, is to stay on track with your personal growth and forgiveness. If we continue to bring our past into this new relationship, our journey as a Step-Father will fall short and you be left asking yourself why? Let go of your past! You are not your father! You are not your mother! You are not the person who raised you! You are unique, you are valued, and you must move past your "PAST" in order to secure your future! Website:

Mistakes are NECESSARY | Episode 052

The Professional Step-Dad Show ·

2021/02/02

Why are mistakes necessary? They are necessary because as Step-Dads, we tend to avoid any type of confrontation that may lead to a disagreement or an argument in fear of being judged or replaced within the home. I know that may seem "Harsh" but it's very true! Step-Dad's constantly find themselves walking on egg shells during the first few years of their journey which leads to indecision and second guessing our natural instincts! It's important to know, RIGHT NOW, that mistakes are necessary for

Know Your Value| Episode 051

The Professional Step-Dad Show ·

2021/01/28

The majority of Step-Dad's tend to lose their perspective on the amount of "REAL VALUE" they are actually bringing into their new family. For the most part all the attention, energy (both good and bad), and focus are on the mom and her children and very little it shined on the Step-Dad for making the choice to Step-IN. Then, as time passes, tend to forget about the VALUE we brought into the family and before you know it the pressure mounts and the fear of not being accepted becomes a real issue
