Burnout is quietly affecting more dads than ever—and many don’t realize they’re experiencing it. In this episode of New Dad Order, we break down the six key signs of dad burnout, including emotional exhaustion, irritability, lack of motivation, detachment, poor sleep, and neglecting self-care.

Through real-life stories and honest conversation, we explore how burnout develops over time through work stress, health issues, parenting pressure, and the loss of personal identity. This isn’t about laziness or weakness—it’s about carrying too much for too long without proper recovery.

We also discuss how burnout impacts relationships at home, why dads often ignore the warning signs, and what practical steps can help restore balance, including better sleep, communication, decompression, and personal reflection.

If you’ve been feeling constantly tired, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself lately, this episode will help you recognize burnout early and take steps toward protecting your mental health and well-being as a dad.
