When the Job Breaks You Down is a raw, honest conversation about what happens when the grind becomes too heavy for even the strongest dads to carry. In this episode, we explore the physical, emotional, and mental toll that blue-collar work takes on fathers — and how to rebuild your strength when life, work, or exhaustion pushes you to your limit.
From sleepless nights on the job to the silence of long drives home, this episode digs into the real struggles men face but rarely talk about: burnout, stress, guilt, and the feeling of falling short. Through real-world scenarios, practical recovery tips, and heartfelt perspective, we remind working fathers that taking care of your mental health isn’t weakness — it’s maintenance.
Whether you’re a truck driver, construction worker, mechanic, or any dad holding it all together, this episode will help you find your footing, recharge your mindset, and remember that even strong men need repair
