Hosted by Lirec Williams, 15 Minutes with Dad is a dynamic podcast focused on fatherhood, co-parenting, and personal growth. Each episode gives modern dads the tools and insights to create healthier families through emotional healing, parenting resilience, and intentional leadership.
In just 15 minutes (well, sometimes a bit more), we explore the real stories that shape modern fatherhood—from breaking generational cycles and healing childhood trauma to building emotional presence, developing self-awareness in parenting, and crafting a legacy-driven fatherhood journey.
This isn’t just a parenting podcast. It’s a healing space for fathers navigating mental health, emotional connection, and parenting challenges with honesty and strength. Whether you’re working through child-centered co-parenting, strengthening the father-daughter bond, or redefining masculinity through vulnerability, each episode equips you with practical, research-based parenting frameworks and growth insights that work in real life.
💬 Topics We Explore
Join a movement of fathers, brothers, and men choosing to show up with purpose, compassion, and emotional intelligence.
