Life’s recent whirlwind initially shocked James Hogue — the newly-minted “rad dad” who earned a shoutout (and a couple thousand dollars) on the Father’s Day edition of Kelly Clarkson’s hit daytime talk show.
“My first thought was, ‘Is this really happening?’” the Kansas City dad and certified doula said.
The founder of Fathers Assisting Mothers — which is dedicated to equipping expectant fathers with birth education through a male-focused doula training program — Hogue recently earned the opportunity to share his nonprofit’s on the celebrity-focused TV show, clips from which frequently go viral on social media.
“It felt good from the standpoint of them — not only just trying to fill a spot on their Father’s Day week — but really wanting to learn more about the organization and our why behind what we do,” he said. “And we’ve been so grateful for the exposure on that level.”
