What Do I Do?
Since I wear many hats, people often ask me, “What exactly is it exactly that you do?” Here is what I tell them:
At my core, I am a Psychologist and Executive Coach.

Reflections from Kemper Sosa on the “Dadosphere”
Last week I talked about what I call, the “dadosphere”, a term I created to describe what I see as a healthy approach to manhood. This concept runs in sharp contrast to the frequently discussed concept of the manosphere, which is a new term describing an old pattern of male dominance and aggression.
Here is a reaction to my posting from Kemper Sosa, the co-owner of Applied Fitness Solutions in Ann Arbor.
As a new father, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to show up—not just for my daughter, but for my family, my work, and my community. Robert Pasick’s recent newsletter introduced a term that hit home: the “Dadosphere.”
It’s a simple concept with powerful implications. According to Dr. Pasick,” The Dadosphere represents men committed to being engaged and supportive fathers and partners. Men who share parenting responsibilities equally, who value emotional health as much as physical strength, and who see nurturing not as a weakness but as a core part of what it means to be a man.”
Reading Dr. Rob’s thoughts made me reflect on the quiet revolution happening around us. I see it in friends who adjust their work schedules to be there for bedtime stories, in dads who are just as likely to be packing lunches as they are leading meetings, and in conversations that go beyond career ambitions to include mental health, partnership, and personal growth.
Fatherhood isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about showing up with your whole heart, even when you’re tired, unsure, or overwhelmed. It’s aspirational vs. literal as I mess it up all the time. With that said, having people like Rob and otherwise fathers provide a sense of support to get right back on the horse.”
New fathers, does this resonate with you? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Kemper.
