Is this you?
The JourneyMen path is a call to adventure for specific kinds of dads.
🎯You caught your kid’s smile as he ate breakfast… but by bedtime, you’re snapping at them over homework, cleaning… everything. In the morning, you laughed together, sharing some ‘dad’ jokes. You hold that moment with you all day; you love that kiddo! But by the end of the day, frustration bubbles up and everything feels overshadowed by tension and disconnection.
🎯Date night was awesome… but by the next morning, it’s the same old, same old. It’s so great to reconnect with your partner and remember why you’re in this together, But by the next day, arguments, details and scheduling pull you apart again. Hopeful feelings fade into frustration and distance.
🎯It was a great work day... and then you got home to a real shitshow. At work, you got ahead, made a solid presentation and even finished a project that had been sitting for months. And then you got home. Your partner’s tired eyes and loud yelling from your kid’s room say it all. Outside success doesn’t soften the struggle waiting at home.
🎯You find yourself yelling again - it’s something that you’ve talked (argued) about with your spouse. Of course it doesn’t work. The look on your kiddo’s face says it all. They’re just not listening to you. You’re left alone with your thoughts, feeling confused and guilty. You want to communicate better, but this cycle feels unbreakable.
🎯You’re tired and overwhelmed from a long day of trying to get everything done and make everyone happy. Your partner wants more connection, wants to be heard and also wants help with the household details. You push away and the silence grows louder, filled with words & feelings that neither of you know how to say.
🎯You’re surrounded by colleagues and friends, but the connections feel surface level. Everyone’s 'working hard' - even you - to appear ‘put together.’ You keep your struggles hidden because, well… you’re not even sure. It’s lonely being a dad. It’s heavy and quiet, does anyone know the real you?
