Why DadsAround?
I’m an experienced copywriter with a background in Journalism, currently doing my second degree in Cognitive Science and Psychology at the University of Bucharest.
I also am a divorced dad who was blessed with a loving and kind son.
My own post-divorce experience has led me to discover a significant knowledge gap isolating divorced dads from effective parenthood.
I believe the problem stems from a weak understanding of the father’s critical role in the healthy development of children, and I am determined to bring forward practical, science-based solutions that have the power to change this reality.
Join me in this venture and let’s make this change together.
I am on a mission to
1. Reveal the critical link between adult learning and children's well-being.
2. Challenge outdated norms that hinder children's healthy development.
3. Advocate for divorced fathers by building a community of collaboration and understanding.
4. Reach out to Romanian fathers all around the globe (the content is in Romanian, for now).
A reporter at heart
In some ways, I still am a reporter at heart, looking at things out of curiosity, passion, and utility. It’s keeping me focused as I am investigating best practices and the latest, science-based information dads may use in their journeys.
On Substack, I am creating extensive content in the form of a newsletter, posting some valuable threads occasionally, and starting a podcast (I am currently recording the first episodes).
DadsAround has been around since the summer of 2023
Since I started this project in the summer of 2023, I have been growing steadily both online and offline.
My vision for DadsAround is a two-dimensional project.
#1 online - as a source of valuable content that both informs and ponders the best tools for dads to create, sustain, and support healthy and strong relationships with their children. You can also find me on Linkedin and Instagram.
#2 offline - as a ground for actual, face-to-face debate. DadsAround Sessions is a monthly workshop I am running along with Matei Stănculescu, therapist, coach, and co-founder of Eka - The Wellbeing Center. A 3-hour conversation where we discuss all the challenges of a divorced father along with other fathers willing to join us. Here we examine all the different perspectives, as well as the personal solutions that each of the attendees has found to work.
