Female Dads is a candid, comedic, and empowering podcast hosted by comedians & actresses Jessica Keenan and Heather Pasternak that redefines what motherhood can look like when women embrace their own version of “dad energy.”
In a world that often criticizes, pressures, and undervalues moms, Female Dads offers a refreshing perspective on parenting—one that celebrates being carefree, cool, fun, imperfect, and unapologetically yourself. Through honest conversations with special guests, Jessica and Heather explore the realities of modern motherhood while sharing their own parenting wins, spectacular fails, unexpected lessons, and laugh-out-loud experiences along the way.
From embracing “dad energy” and finding freedom in the chaos to celebrating the little victories and laughing through the inevitable mistakes, Female Dads creates a space where moms can let go of perfection and enjoy the journey. At its heart, the podcast is about giving mothers permission to have fun, be honest, and occasionally neglect their children for an hour a week—because, really, isn’t that feminism?
Funny, fearless, and refreshingly unfiltered, Female Dads invites listeners to laugh, learn, and embrace a more carefree approach to motherhood. Whether you’re a seasoned parent, expecting your first child, or simply curious about the beautifully chaotic world of raising kids, each episode offers an honest and entertaining introduction to the fun, unpredictable journey ahead.
This week, Erik Rivera joins Jessica Keenan and Heather Pasternak to talk kids, life as a stay-at-home dad, and parenting fails. They also tackle one of the bigger parenting questions: when, how, and what exactly are you supposed to say when it’s time to have “the talk” with your kids, or do you just let the school handle it? Plus, they get into some good old-fashioned school parent drama and gossip.
