About this listen

What happens when a pastor’s kid becomes a father and realizes he’s repeating the same silent expectations he grew up under? In this powerful conversation, Joe Bachmeyer, founder of You Matter Dad, opens up about emotional awareness, healing from internal chaos, and what it really means to be present as a father.

🎙️ In this episode, Joe shares:

  • How growing up as a “functional only-child” shaped his parenting
  • The pressure of silent expectations placed on pastors' kids—and how that carried into his fatherhood
  • His battle with emotional regulation, tone, and control
  • Why curiosity is more powerful than control in parenting
  • The three core values he’s intentionally instilling in his kids: gratefulness, helpfulness, and emotional presence
  • The surprising healing that happens when dads “get all in” with what their kids love

This is a conversation for every dad who's trying to show up better—not perfectly—but with purpose.
