https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-a4swt-1b55427

Dan the Dad explores “compression”—how slow, mounting pressures from work, school, and family reshape us and can strain the people we love.

When his son struggles emotionally and engages in self-harm, Dan realizes that availability and listening matter more than plans; he seeks help, steps back where needed, and learns to prioritize presence over perfection.

With practical advice and a seven-day challenge to give someone 20 uninterrupted minutes, this episode is about adjusting life’s priorities, asking for help, and choosing compassionate action.
