The Mindful Dad
The Mindful Dad Podcast is where modern fathers come to reconnect—with themselves, their children, and what truly matters.
I’m your host, Odeani McBean, a mindful fatherhood coach and creator of the 365 Dad Journal. This show is for dads who want to break free from outdated parenting norms and lead with heart, presence, and purpose.
Each week, we dive into the deeper layers of fatherhood, exploring mindfulness, emotional intelligence, spiritual growth, and self-awareness. From letting go of control to healing childhood wounds, we cover the real stuff that helps you show up fully—not just as a dad, but as your highest self.
Expect practical tips, thought-provoking reflections, and honest conversations about what it really means to be a conscious, connected father in today’s world.
Whether you’re balancing a 9-to-5, side gigs, full blown entrepreneurship, or navigating the highs and lows of fatherhood, this podcast will help you slow down, breathe deeper, and parent with more presence and intention.
Because mindful dads don’t just raise better kids—they become better men.

E8: Allow Your Kids to Be Brave.
In this episode, we dive into why it’s crucial for us as dads to step back and allow our children to be brave. So often, our own inner child wounds—those moments where we lacked a guiding, nurturing voice—can lead us to overcompensate and try to control our children's experiences out of fear. But true growth happens when we let go and let them take risks.
Highlights:
- Intro
- How our childhood forces us to overdo being the "protector"
- Satisfying our ego
- How our approach impacts our kids
- My recent personal example of this
- The Law of Fair Exchange
