#139. Why "Work-Life Balance" Is a Lie for Dads (And What to Focus on Instead)


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like you're juggling work, kids, your partner, and now—even your aging parents—and wondering how to keep it all together?

Modern fatherhood isn't just about raising kids anymore. Many dads are also managing careers, supporting their partners, and stepping into the unexpected role of caregiver for their parents. If you've ever felt stretched thin, overwhelmed, or guilty for not being "enough" in every area, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, you'll discover:

  • The 3 pillars every dad needs to build real integration (not impossible balance): Presence, Provision, and Personal Well-Being.

  • Why traditional "work-life balance" sets fathers up to fail—and what mindset shift leads to greater peace and confidence.

  • Practical, real-life strategies to prioritize your time, protect your energy, and show up fully for your family without losing yourself.

Tune in now to learn how to ditch the stress of "doing it all" and start thriving as the father, partner, and son your family needs you to be.
