Are you looking for inspiration to start your journey into sobriety and become a better Dad? Has that hard wired feeling of “suck it up and deal with it”, gotten to a point where you had to sedate the weight of it with something else? Me too! Im Nick Barnett, Founder of the domestic dad project, A brand that strives to create a community that breaks the stigma around dads reaching out for help to get their lives back on track and become better Fathers. Welcome to The Domestic Dad Podcast, your go-to destination for candid discussions on journeys into sobriety, parenting, and personal growth. Ive been a dad since I was 18 years old. Im also a trauma survivor, alcoholic, divorced, happily re-married, proud, hard working, humbled by life domestic Dad. I remember realizing I was in the pit of addiction when I couldn’t leave the house without planning a stop to grab a few shooters at the gas station before I got home. Or Making up reasons to go to the grocery store just to make a un-necessary food purchase to bury a bottle of booze or wine in my cart and Stashing “back up bottles” around the house.. Only to wake up in the middle of the night, parched with a glass filled with vodka disguised as water on my night stand to quench my thirst so I could get through the next few hours without getting sick… Just to get hit with another devastating hangover that left me with debilitating heart burn, bloating, vomiting and shaking so bad that I couldn’t write an email, send a text or complete sentence without stammering over words… all while coming up with reasons in my head that every person in the world was against me and I was the “victim” Looking back at the way addiction stained my days and nights, stole time from me, my wife, and my kids left me embarrassed and ashamed. Because of this, I struggled with the pit of mental health issues in some of the darkest ways imaginable. But I fought my way out. With the help of community resources, life changing coaches, mentors, pastors and raw will power. Since then, I’ve embarked on an unbreakable journey into sobriety and life that has changed in some the greatest ways imaginable. There is not one goal I have set for myself that I haven’t had the confidence to go after, most which I’ve achieved. Today I feel great when I wake up in the morning, I’m productive with my work, my 40 year old body feels great, I’m present with my family and friends, I sleep through the night, I don’t have the fear of dying from my disease, I no longer doubt my value to my family and I know I have a meaningful future! My mission here is to share the resources that worked for me, with you! In the form of candid interviews and conversations around journeys into sobriety. But that’s not all – we also tackle the sheer delight and trials of parenting, sharing practical tips, heartfelt anecdotes, and expert advice to help you navigate the wonderful adventure of raising children and being the glue that not only allows your family to survive but more importantly THRIVE! Because you’re worth it, you have value in this world, there is a bright future for you here, and there is a son or daughter that needs and wants a meaningful relationship with you.

  • From Addiction to Obedience: Keith Jeffries Story of Faith, Redemption, and God's Grace

    From Addiction to Obedience: Keith Jeffries Story of Faith, Redemption, and God's Grace
    2026/03/09
    In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Keith Jeffries to unpack a story marked by addiction, heartbreak, spiritual awakening, and the life-changing power of surrendering to God. Keith shares openly about growing up in a loving home that lacked a spiritual foundation, and how his desire for acceptance and belonging led him down a destructive path at an early age. What began with drinking as a teenager quickly escalated into marijuana, prescription pills, heroin, and eventually years of meth addiction. Through his brutally honest reflection, Keith reveals how addiction slowly eroded his relationships, fueled selfish choices, and left him feeling empty despite outward success. Nick and Keith explore the deep wounds that often live beneath addiction—including father wounds, unresolved anger, and the quiet shame that lingers long after the chaos of substance abuse fades. Keith reflects on the painful realization that the scars addicts leave on others can be some of the hardest burdens to carry in sobriety. The turning point in Keith’s story came during one of the darkest moments of his life. After years of addiction and the loss of his father, Keith found himself sitting alone with a gun in his hand, ready to end everything. Instead, in a moment he still struggles to fully explain, he fired the gun into the floor—an act that became a permanent reminder of the life he almost lost. Soon after, Keith attended a men’s event called The Launching Pad in Dallas, Texas, where he experienced a powerful encounter with God that would change everything. In that moment of surrender, the addictions that once controlled him were broken, and Keith began a new journey of faith, obedience, and purpose. But the journey wasn’t without heartbreak. After five years of infertility, Keith and his wife Kayla experienced the joy of discovering they were pregnant with twins—only to lose both babies to miscarriage weeks later. In one of the most painful seasons of their lives, they made the difficult decision to remain faithful and obedient to God, trusting that He still had a plan for their family. Today, Keith lives a completely transformed life—devoted to his faith, his marriage, and helping other men find freedom from addiction and hopelessness. His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far someone believes they have fallen, redemption is always possible. Through honest conversation, Nick and Keith discuss the role of obedience, the importance of brotherhood and accountability, and the incredible ways God reveals Himself when people choose faith over fear. This episode is a raw and inspiring testimony that no one is too far gone for grace—and that sometimes the greatest miracles come after the darkest moments. 🧭 The Journey — A Timeline of Redemption 00:00 – Welcome to Domestic Dad Nick introduces the episode and sets the stage for a powerful conversation about addiction, faith, and redemption. 01:06 – Growing Up and Early Trouble Keith reflects on his childhood, growing up in a loving but financially struggling household and the early choices that began shaping his path. 03:31 – School Struggles and Rebellion Teachers knew Keith was smart, but rebellion and lack of motivation kept him from applying himself. 04:48 – Dad Absence and the Void Keith opens up about the emotional impact of his father being gone often for work, and the deep void that absence created. 11:44 – First Job and a Father Figure Working for a local farmer gave Keith mentorship and discipline that he had been missing at home. 13:42 – From Weed to Heroin Experimentation escalates quickly from marijuana to opioids and eventually heroin addiction. 16:59 – Cooking Meth and Losing It All At just nineteen years old, addiction pushes Keith into cooking meth as his life spirals out of control. 21:55 – Relationships and Regret Keith reflects on the damage addiction caused to the people who loved him most. 26:49 – Forgiveness and Staying Sober The conversation turns to the challenge of forgiving yourself and repairing relationships after addiction. 36:20 – Alcohol Spiral and Daily Sickness Keith describes the brutal cycle of alcoholism—waking up sick, drinking again, and living in a constant physical and emotional crash. 44:10 – Breaking Drinking Culture at Home Nick and Keith discuss the cultural glorification of alcohol and the importance of changing that narrative for their children. 49:00 – Rock Bottom Moment Keith shares the night he sat with a gun in his hand, ready to end his life. 51:52 – Empty Success Realized Despite financial stability and outward success, Keith realized his life felt completely empty. 53:58 – Brother’s Playbook Keith reaches out to his brother for help and begins exploring a new path forward. 57:22 – Texas Intensive Begins Keith ...

  • The Complexity of Change: How Men and Fathers Actually Grow with Shane Fuller

    The Complexity of Change: How Men and Fathers Actually Grow with Shane Fuller
    2025/12/15

    In this deeply honest episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Shane Fuller—former pastor, husband, and father of four—for a powerful conversation about the complexity of change and what it truly takes for men and fathers to become who they want to be.

    Rather than a dramatic downfall or instant breakthrough, Shane’s story unfolds through layers: childhood influences, faith formation, identity pressure, emotional suppression, and the quiet realization that doing all the “right” things doesn’t always lead to a healthy or fulfilled life. Together, Nick and Shane unpack how discouragement, shame, and unresolved pain often masquerade as anger, addiction, or control—and why most men are trying to fix the wrong problem.

    The episode explores how change actually happens: through self-awareness, acceptance, consistency, and small daily decisions—not perfection or willpower. Shane offers compassionate insight into fatherhood, emotional leadership, and how tending to our inner life transforms the way we show up for our spouses and children.

    This conversation is for the man who knows something needs to change, feels overwhelmed by where to start, and wants to grow without burning everything down. Shane’s story is a reminder that meaningful change is rarely simple—but it is always possible.
