About this listen

Welcome to Givens Squared!! The twin dad journey that’s about more than just raising two babies at once. I’m Zion Givens, and this channel is where I share the unfiltered highs, lows, and lessons of fatherhood through the unique lens of being Blaxican (Black and Mexican) and a first-time dad of twins.

Here you’ll find podcast episodes, reaction clips, family moments, and practical tips for dads who want to show up, break cycles, and build legacy. This is a space for twin dads, fathers of color, and anyone who believes fatherhood is about more than survival — it’s about thriving.

Double the babies. Double the love. Double the legacy.

  • We Thought Something Was Wrong… The NIPT Mix-Up + Finding Out They’re Boys

    We Thought Something Was Wrong… The NIPT Mix-Up + Finding Out They’re Boys
    Nov 17 2025

    Episode 2 takes you inside one of the craziest moments of our pregnancy journey — the day we got our NIPT results… and realized something was wrong.

    A mistake with the test sent us into full panic mode. We walk through the exact moment we saw it, what we thought it meant, and how it felt trying to process everything while expecting twins.

    Once the confusion settled, we finally got the real answer:
    WE’RE HAVING BOYS.
    And yes — the names are locked in. Drop your guesses (and if you actually know… keep it quiet).

    We also talk about the Father Yourself book and the line that stopped me in my tracks:
    “You’re collaborating with GOD to create a MASTERPIECE.”
    Thinking about starting a group read around it.

    Then we get into the real-life side of preparing for fatherhood:
    • being on a nonstop speaking tour since August
    • barely being home and feeling it mentally
    • wondering if my business can actually keep me home more
    • trying to stay creative while preparing for the biggest role of my life
    • realizing my most important stage is about to be my living room

    This episode is a mix of excitement, faith, chaos, vulnerability, and the real emotions that come with stepping into fatherhood — times two.
