26. Found, Not Defined: Jason ‘The Modern Dad’ Dunnigan on Owning His Story
I sit down with creator and father Jason Dunnigan, known as The Modern Dad, to trace his journey from an adoption story and years of bullying to a grounded sense of identity and self-worth. Jason opens up about what it took to stop chasing approval, start trusting his own voice, and share it with the world.
We explore how he turned painful labels into fuel for service, how he set boundaries around online life while staying authentic, and the practices that keep him centered as a partner and parent. Jason talks candidly about belonging and the moment he chose to define himself from the inside out rather than by anyone else’s script.
Listeners will hear practical advice on reframing origin stories, building resilience through self-compassion, and creating content that helps others feel seen. If you have ever carried shame from your past or wondered how to show up online without losing yourself, Jason’s path proves that courage, consistency, and heart can turn old wounds into a platform for good.
