Fatherhood Field Notes Ep. 541 Russell Kimura: Stop Doing THIS If You Want Your Daughter to Open Up
Russell Kimura, creator of Fathers with Daughters and girl dad of three, shares his journey of learning to show up with intention for his daughters. In this rich conversation, Russell reveals why consistency beats perfection, how to create emotional safety without sacrificing leadership, and why fathers must commit to connection over convenience. He opens up about the tension of releasing control as daughters grow independent, the power of modeling faith through action rather than religious systems, and practical ways to stay connected during the chaotic teenage years. Russell challenges dads to rebel against cookie-cutter parenting, embrace the messiness of real relationship, and prepare for their future role as father-in-law. This episode will inspire you to audit your commitments, become a student of your family, and pursue your daughters with the same intentionality you once pursued your wife.
