Episode 101. Alfonso Costas on The Transition to Fatherhood
In this conversation, Keltie is joined by 32-year-old Alfonso Costas — a new dad from Spain, living in Munich with his German wife and their 14-month-old son. Hear Alfonso share:
• How he knew he wanted to be a dad — and the doubts he encountered along the way. • Why he views fatherhood as an "invitation" — rather than a choice made due to pressure. • The perspectives on parenthood that allow him to weather its challenges and difficulties. • The important conversations he and his wife had to have before trying to conceive — and how they've balanced the responsibilities of raising their son. • How he and his wife have navigated their different cultural backgrounds and decisions like where to live. • Why he thinks its important for men to take paternity leave. • The joy he's finding in parenthood so far.
About Alfonso: Alfonso was born and raised in Spain. He moved to the USA to study at age 18, and then to Munich to work as a mechanical engineer at age 24. He's married to German wife with a Vietnamese background and they have a 14-month old son together. Mentioned in the episode: Find Alfonso on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/costasalfonso/
