Beyond Empty Nest
The Power of Lead Dads: Supporting Working Moms and Stronger Families
What happens when dads take the lead at home? 🤔 In this episode, I’m joined by Paul Sullivan, founder of The Company of Dads, to explore the evolving role of Lead Dads—fathers who step into the primary caregiving role. As a Lead Dad himself, Paul shares how this often-overlooked role is reshaping families, workplaces, and the definition of fatherhood.
We dive into:
✨ The untold realities of being a Lead Dad
✨ The impact of midlife and empty nest transitions on fatherhood
✨ Why workplaces need to rethink policies to support all parents
This conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about fatherhood and work-life balance!
Your Dare for the Week ❤️
Dare to be open and honest. Speak openly about your caregiving responsibilities and needs at work, and bring forward thoughtful, honest plans when negotiating things like flexible schedules or parental leave.

Paul is the founder of The Company of Dads, the first platform dedicated to creating a community for Lead Dads and working with companies on policies for working parents.
