Finally—a birth course made specifically for dads and support partners.
Dads today are committed to doing things differently.
In most birth courses, dads and support partners are an afterthought. Maybe a single module. A quick side note. A reminder to “just be supportive.”
This one’s different.
Dig into +90 micro-lessons built for you from the ground up—with clear, practical guidance for every stage of the journey.
From pregnancy to postpartum, you’ll know how to show up with presence, confidence, and care.
It gives you the tools, language, and confidence to support your partner through every stage—from pregnancy to newborn care and everything in between.
And all it takes is just 15 minutes a day.
Clear, Actionable Lessons
No filler. No overwhelm. Just honest, step-by-step guidance to help you support your partner with confidence—through every stage of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery. All designed to fit into real life with just 15 minutes a day.
Support That Actually Helps
Learn how to recognize what your partner needs—when to take initiative, when to simply listen, and how to be a steady presence even when things feel uncertain. From handling contractions to navigating postpartum emotions, this course gives you real-world tools—not generic advice.
Step Wisely into Parenthood
The connection doesn’t start later—it starts now. Learn how to soothe, care for, and respond to your baby in ways that help them feel safe in your arms from the very beginning. These early moments become the foundation of trust, comfort, and lasting connection—long before they can say your name.

Meet Your Guide
I’m Jason King—dad, birth educator, and founder of Dad Equals.
As a DONA-trained birth doula and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, I’ve spent years supporting families through pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and those raw, early months of new parenthood.
And here’s what I saw again and again:
Dads wanted to show up—but they didn’t always know where to begin.
Because most of the resources out there weren’t made for them.
So I built the course I wish every support partner had.
Something clear. Practical. Emotionally grounded.
Not to make you perfect—but to help you feel steady, connected, and ready when it matters most.
