When you look after the children by yourself for the first time, how will you react? Will you resort to pity and apathy, or will you carry yourself with the strength needed to fulfill both your kids’ and your needs? Parenthood is hard and single parenthood is even harder, but it IS possible. In this new episode, Mark sits down with fellow Empowered AF coach, Isaiah Fliessbach, to discuss how they both successfully raised children AND developed themselves, all while single. They lay out a CRUCIAL mindset shift to help you to address the pain that’s holding you back as a father, daily practices that will accelerate your growth and help you show up without fail, and the KEY question for unlocking a healthy long-term relationship with your children, free from your past.

“When I moved out, I didn’t choose to be a bachelor again; I chose to be a dad who happened to be single.”

- Mark Santiago

In This Episode:

- If you’ve ever felt unheard or ignored in your life, you’re not alone. Before you write yourself off as “crazy”, implement THIS philosophy into your life to find the TRUE cause of your pain.

- In those moments when life seems to be crashing around you, ask yourself this ONE question before you blame anyone else; you may have seen this before and know how to stop the pattern.

- Above all else, this SIMPLE philosophy is the SECRET to developing a healthy relationship with your children, even as a single parent.

- Both Isaiah and Mark recognize fatherhood as the greatest challenge in life, but instead of giving in to the pressure, they use these TRANSFORMATIONAL practices to push through and remember why it’s all worth it.
