Welcome to the Daughtered Podcast — where dads come to talk, grow, and thrive. I’m your host, Oscar, and this is a space for men who are committed to becoming stronger, more mindful, and more present—especially in the lives of their daughters. We believe that fatherhood is a journey of growth. Each conversation on this podcast is a chance to learn, reflect, and level up as a dad and as a man. Whether you’re a brand-new father or deep into the teenage years, we’re here to support each other through every stage. Being Daughtered means embracing the lessons our daughters are continuously teaching us and using them to become better. We challenge current misconceptions of masculinity and lead with strength, compassion, and intention—building stronger relationships and lasting memories along the way. This community is for every man who’s ready to show up—not as a perfect dad, but as a growing one.
