    Survival Tips for New Dads

    Date: Apr 14, 2025

    Guests: Aaron Sharp

    Pregnancy is an exciting and beautiful time in the life of a couple. But, let’s be honest, it can also be a stressful and confusing time—especially for first-time dads! Aaron Sharp candidly shares about his experience as a “four-time pregnancy survivor,” sharing how he learned that his wife’s hormones were like fastballs; how he overcame intense bouts of “dad insecurity,” and how he and his wife kept their marriage strong in the midst of bringing a new life into the world.
