Today’s episode of Perelel Lives is a special dad edition in honor of Father’s Day. Our guest is none other than Miles Garber, host and founder of Call Me Dada, a media platform and podcast that aims to educate, inspire, and start a conversation about modern fatherhood. Miles is a longtime favorite of ours over here at Perelel because of his vulnerability and mission of helping other dads feeling alienated or afraid in the parenthood journey. He’s a dad to his daughter, Maxime, and is currently writing his soon-to-debut book, Call Me Dada, about his own story and realizations. He also offers one-on-one coaching for other dads and dads-to-be. We talk about becoming a parent from a dad's POV, how the male brain changes in fatherhood, and how we can all better support our partners and dads. It’s an insightful conversation that we’re sure you’re going to love.

Before becoming a mom herself, Neha spent ten years in brand strategy and received her MBA from Stanford Business School. She then decided to downshift and become a stay-at-home mom after welcoming her first child.

We talked about what we need to do as a society to better support our caregivers, the motherhood penalty (a sobering phenomenon for working mothers), reexamining what purpose looks like, identity shifts, and so much more.
