About Me

Hi, I’m Shawn Anderson, founder of AllThingzzDad.com — a project created from real experience, real challenges, and an unwavering love for my three incredible kids: Noah, Ava, and Matthew. Being their father is the foundation of everything I do. Every decision, every sacrifice, every late-night idea — it all comes back to giving them a better life than the one I came from.

For years I worked long, grueling hours to provide stability for my family. I’ve been through loss, betrayal, setbacks, and seasons where I had to rebuild myself piece by piece. But those experiences shaped me into the father and man I am today — someone who values growth, resilience, accountability, and showing up even when it’s hard.

Let's be real: I'm a struggling dad, just like many of you. The smiling photos don't always capture the full picture. I understand what it means to struggle mentally, financially, and emotionally, to feel isolated when the weight of the world rests on your shoulders. There are days when the struggle feels overwhelming, but I made a promise to myself and to my children: I will always stay in the fight for them. They are the only thing I've got left worth fighting for, the fuel that keeps me going when the tank is empty.

AllThingzzDad is where I share that raw, unedited journey. It’s a space built for dads like me who are figuring things out in the real world: balancing work, emotions, personal growth, and the responsibility of raising children who feel protected, supported, and loved.

This is more than a blog; it’s a movement. It's about uplifting struggling fathers, letting you know that you are absolutely not alone in this fight. We don't have to pretend everything is perfect. We can be honest about the challenges while committing to being the best version of ourselves for our kids.

This is a blueprint for becoming a stronger parent and a better man — one choice, one struggle, and one win at a time. Welcome to the fight.

Mission Statement

My mission is to help fathers and parents build stronger families, healthier mindsets, and stable futures by sharing real experiences, hard-earned lessons, and practical tools for emotional growth, resilience, and self-improvement. I strive to create a space where dads feel understood, motivated, and empowered to lead with strength, honesty, and love.

My children are my purpose — their well-being shapes every decision I make.

2. Integrity

Even when life hits hard, I believe in doing the right thing, owning my choices, and leading by example.

Hard moments don’t define you — how you rise from them does. I stand for showing up even when it’s uncomfortable.

4. Growth & Self-Mastery

I believe in becoming better every day — mentally, emotionally, financially, and spiritually.

5. Stability & Responsibility

Providing security, consistency, and structure is non-negotiable. My kids deserve a dependable father.
