When pressure builds in fatherhood, most of us respond the same way:
we tighten our grip.
We manage schedules.
We control outcomes.
We try to hold everything together.
Not out of ego — but out of fear of letting things fall apart.
In this episode, we explore how control quietly replaces presence,
why responsibility can turn into distance,
and how pressure inside us creates order around us — at a cost.
This isn’t about doing less.
It’s about understanding what pressure does to us as men — and how connection slips away without us noticing.
If things are “working” but don’t feel close anymore, this conversation will put language to what’s happening.
