While speaking with PEOPLE about ByHeart’sFeed Fest, a virtual summit that features panels and masterclasses aimed to empower new parents, the Bravo star, 54, shares how he’s been navigating his new role as a dad of two.

Since welcoming daughterLucy Eve, 6 months, and sonBenjamin Allen, 3, Cohen says he’s had a “total shift in priority.”

“I’m choosing to stay home with them so much more than I ever would have,” he shares. “I was not someone who ever stayed at home, so my priorities have just totally changed.”

“Make sure you have help,” Cohen adds.

“Just when I think I’ve had a lot of really quality time with Ben, I have to go to Lucy and sit with her and I just want to look in her face and I want her to see me and hear my voice and know that I’m here,” he explains. “It’s just about juggling time management with the two of them.”

Cohen also expresses his excitement for his involvement in FeedFest, which he will be virtually hosting on Nov. 11.

“It’s a really fun event for parents that are meant to empower them with information and transparency about the realities of being a parent,” he says.

“Not only are there discussions on how to feed your child, but also pretty frank discussions of issues that people don’t necessarily talk about with the role of the father,” he continues. “Where does the father fit in? And just parenting hacks and feeding hacks and the realities as opposed to wrapping everything up in a pretty bow.”

“We’re excited to haveAndy Cohenonboard as we bring together leading experts and parents for open and honest conversations about the highs and lows of parenting.”
