Hosted by Lirec Williams, 15 Minutes with Dad helps fathers build emotionally safe homes through co-parenting tools, emotional resilience, mental health conversations, and practical leadership.


Each episode gives modern dads real strategies for showing up with presence, healing from past wounds, communicating with compassion, and strengthening family bonds. Whether you are married, single, co-parenting, rebuilding after separation, or learning to lead your home with more calm, this podcast gives grounded support for fatherhood in real life.


Through supportive, insightful conversations, Lirec explores childhood trauma recovery, parenting communication, emotional regulation, and the unique challenges of single fatherhood. This podcast helps fathers create positive change in their families while showing up with purpose, presence, and emotional intelligence.


Topics we explore:

- Co-parenting communication

- Fatherhood and emotional presence

- Mental health for dads

- Parenting teens with empathy and consistency

- Trauma recovery and emotional regulation

- Compassionate communication with children

- Presence over perfection

- Hard conversations with kids

- Family leadership and healthy boundaries

- Generational healing


Join a movement of fathers, brothers, and men choosing to show up with purpose, compassion, and emotional intelligence.


Together, we are reshaping what it means to lead, love, and raise the next generation.
