The Brashers Project Show

For this episode, my wife joins me for one of our most personal conversations yet. We talk openly about her experience with severe postpartum depression and anxiety, the impact it had on our marriage and family, and what life looked like in some of our darkest moments. We also discuss what support actually helped, what we wish we had known beforehand, and the hope that exists on the other side of...

What if one of the most damaging words we use around children is “normal”? In this episode, I explore how comparison shapes the way kids see themselves and why being different is not the same as being broken. Because the goal of parenting isn’t raising normal kids; it’s raising confident, compassionate kids who know their worth.

What if the awkwardness isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong? In this episode, I share how a handmade birthday book for my daughter became the beginning of The Brashers Project, why I’ve always felt called to help kids who feel different, and what it’s been like putting myself out there through books, podcasts, and social media. I also open up about something I’ve struggled with for years: worrying...

Today’s episode gets a little chaotic in the best way possible because my daughters officially take over the podcast.

This wasn’t a book I planned to write… it was one I couldn’t ignore. In this episode, I share how Two Places. One Love came to life. From the first idea while finishing Claire the Bear, to writing it in February and illustrating it through March and April. It’s about kids in two home, and what they feel but don’t always say.

Being a dad isn’t just the fun stuff. There’s a quiet side of it that most guys don’t talk about. In this episode, I open up about missing your kids, split homes, and the pressure to make every moment count. No advice. Just real.

I didn’t plan this episode. I just hit record and started talking about life lately… where I’m at, what I’m feeling, and why I keep coming back to this idea that there’s something more I’m supposed to be doing. This is real, unfiltered, and probably a little messy. But maybe that’s the point.

I’m starting something that matters. This episode is about why The Brashers Project exists, what it’s meant to become, and who it’s for.
