Sometimes the bravest move isn’t to hold the line—but to let go. This episode of Load-Bearing Dad is for anyone (military, veteran, parent, leader, or just overloaded in life) who’s gripping too tight to an old mission, habit, or identity. We go deep on what surrender really means: dropping what drags you down so you can climb higher in life, at home, or on your next team.

Hear stories and lessons from every branch, powerful Q&A, and real-talk strategies for finding strength by stepping back.
You don’t have to do it alone—and you don’t have to carry it all.🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
