Parenting Survival Mode, Childhood Nostalgia, and Raising Strong Daughters w/ Preston Geer

Send a text to Girl Dad Nation [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911577/fan_mail/new] In this honest and hilarious episode, Matthew is joined by Hollywood actor and fellow podcaster, Preston Geer, for a raw and relatable conversation about the highs, lows, and curveballs of parenting. Preston compares raising kids to running a business you can’t quit—with “employees” you can’t fire—and reflects on how quickly parenting turns into survival mode. Together, they discuss: * The mental shift from idealistic parenting plans to real-life flexibility and grace * The ever-changing “terms and conditions” of raising kids (and how quickly kids call you out when you break your own rules) * How media and screen time evolve in parenting, especially when introducing your kids to the shows you loved growing up * Saturday morning cartoon nostalgia—from Doug, Rugrats, and Wild Kratts to Street Sharks, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Batman: The Animated Series * Why some childhood shows don’t quite “hold up” the way you remembered (looking at you, Are You Afraid of the Dark?) * The challenge of raising daughters who are kind—but not pushovers—and how, as dads, we want to protect them and support them as they learn to stand up to bullies and advocate for themselves Preston opens up about how parenting changes your priorities, increases your stress tolerance, and pushes you to extend grace to yourself and your partner. It's a conversation that will make you laugh, reflect, and feel seen in the beautiful chaos of parenthood. Preston and his wife, Emily Bolt, are both actors working in Hollywood and parents navigating the challenges of raising a family in the entertainment industry.
