Description
Welcome to The Unhinged Father — also known as TUF — a podcast for anyone who loves their kids but isn’t going to pretend it’s easy. And honestly, even if you don’t have kids, stick around — because this show is really about something bigger than parenting.
I’m Robbie. Dad of three, husband, and someone who figured out that the best way to get through the chaos of modern life is to stop pretending you have it together and start talking honestly about what it actually looks like. Every week I bring real, unfiltered conversations on fatherhood, parenting, mental health, personal development, masculinity, relationships, and the everyday grind of trying to be a better man and a better human in a world that makes that harder than it should be.
No highlight reels. No perfect parent BS. Just honest talk from someone figuring it out right alongside you.
TUF covers the topics most podcasts are too polished to touch — mental health, self-improvement, work-life balance, emotional regulation, modern masculinity, relationships, discipline, screen time, societal expectations, and what it means to keep growing when the world feels increasingly unhinged itself.
Whether you’re a parent in the trenches, someone navigating the pressures of modern life, or anyone who’s just tired of toxic positivity and highlight reels — this is your show.
New episodes every week. Come for the honesty, stay for the occasional chaos.
