    Girl Dads, Generational Healing & Parenting as a United Front | Featuring Corey Jones & Victor Ike
    Dec 10 2025
    This week on the FTK Moms Podcast, Winter and Alicia flip the script and bring in two very special guests — their husbands, Corey Jones and Victor Ike — for a raw, hilarious, and eye-opening conversation about parenting from the dad perspective.

    From the moment the recording starts, Corey and Victor keep it 100% real — as the guys talk about what FTK really means to them, the pressure of raising daughters, and how often dads feel like they’re “guessing” what motherhood actually requires.

    Together, the four dig deep into father–daughter relationships, breaking generational trauma, and the commitment to raise kids differently than they were raised. They open up about learning to soften, communicate better, show more patience, and not pass their own childhood wounds onto their daughters.

    They also talk openly about how important it is to stay a united front — especially when parenting styles differ, when emotions run high, and when the house gets loud.This is one of the funniest, most honest, and most relatable couple-focused episodes FTK Moms has ever released.

    ✨ In This Episode, We Talk About:
    • What being a girl dad really looks like today

    • How men “guess” at motherhood and what they learned from listening

    • Building emotionally healthy father–daughter bonds

    • Not passing generational trauma to your kids

    • Parenting as a team, even when you disagree behind the scenes

    • Why dads need safe spaces to talk about parenting too

    • The importance of communication, patience, and presence

    Whether you're a mom, a dad, or co-parenting in any form — this conversation will make you laugh, make you think, and remind you that raising kids is truly a team sport.
