    Father’s Day Throwback: Breaking Generational Curses with dopedad_e
    Jun 22 2026

    We’re turning back the clock for Father’s Day with a special episode with Eric Taylor (dope_dad_e). Many dads struggle with the responsibilities of fatherhood, leaving moms to shoulder the burden alone. How can dads break these curses?

    With his viral ‘dusty son’ trend featured on The Sherri Show, Buzzfeed, and Good Morning America, Eric has become a powerful voice around breaking generational curses, loving with intention, and raising kids with purpose.

    The conversation also explores the loneliness men often face in fatherhood, the shifting of friendships and relationships when kids come along, and the courage it takes to ask: ‘Who do I want to be for my partner, my children, and myself?’
