Show Notes

Today I invite a special friend of mine back in front of the mic, we discuss how you can begin to disconnect from fear and the matrix as a dad, why it’s crucial for dads to be able to distinguish between perception and reality, the need to be able to talk about our problems with others in our healing journey, why it’s crucial to avoid constantly blaming ourselves and instead practice forgiving ourselves for all of our flaws, and why it’s important to express your shame, love, and remorse while also taking responsibility for it all.

We go into better understanding that maintaining the joy and playful aspects that drove our younger years and how they are pivotal in having a healthy and enjoyable adult life. Wa touches on how this can not only fill your cup but allow you to be a better father, husband, partner or employee to everyone around you. 

We go deep talking about the trap of boyishness in a culture that doesn’t train us in masculinity, performative masculinity versus internalized, purposeful masculinity, insights from his own journey in faith, taking full responsibility for your life, forgiving your father, how to actually lead your wife as a strong husband, getting things done, dropping expectations, and serving your family because it’s the RIGHT thing to do, and how to ask men for true accountability.
