Watch Replay

In an ideal world, this holiday season would be a welcome rest. Given how hard 2020 has been, it might be tough to find much to enjoy but it can still be a valuable time to de-stress and build memories with your kids.

The problem is dads are feeling the stress of 2020 – financially, physically, and emotionally. Dads also rarely recognize how hard it is on them, and sometimes that stress comes out at home. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With a few simple steps, and making one change at a time, dads can learn to manage stress better and get the break they need while also creating positive memories with their kids.

If you’re a dad who could use a pick me up this holiday season, then we invite you to watch this candid conversation about ways to de-stress and enjoy the holidays.
