The Hidden Cost of Building a Legacy: A Father’s Wake-Up Call
You can build something incredible; the career, the home, the dream and still lose yourself in the process.
This episode of Answer Me This is a brutally honest look at what happens when a dad’s drive to provide turns into the very thing that disconnects him from what matters most.
🔑 Key Themes
The moment I realised “doing it all” was costing me everything that mattered.
How burnout blinds dads to their real purpose.
Rebuilding from exhaustion: what clarity, presence, and purpose look like in practice.
What happens when you redefine success around connection, not achievement.
💡 Why It Matters
Your children don’t just need a provider. They need a dad who’s awake and alive in the moment.
Because one day, you’ll realise the thing you thought you were building for them actually pulled you away from them.
This is about stopping that drift, taking ownership, and leading your family with clarity before the cost gets too high.
Your Action This Week
Audit your week — what’s taking energy away from your home life?
Protect presence — block non-negotiable connection time (bedtime, walks, laughter).
Reframe provision — see providing not as doing more, but as being more available.
Comment below: What’s one area where you’ve been “building” but losing sight of what matters?
