The Secret Struggle of Modern Fathers Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

As we celebrate Father’s Day, Dr. Shefali sits down with Dominic Watts, mindful father, holistic coach, and author, for a powerful conversation about conscious fatherhood and the importance of presence in parenting.

Dominic shares how men rarely talk openly about what it truly means to be a mindful dad and why so many fathers struggle to stay emotionally connected in the chaos of everyday life. He discusses the practice of presence, developing continual awareness of both the inner and outer moment, and how deeper attunement with our children can transform the parent child relationship.

Dominic also opens up about the power of meditation and how it became a game changer in his own life. He shares that conscious parenting is not about perfection, but about continually returning to awareness, especially during the moments when he notices himself slipping away from the father he wants to be.
