To your kids, you’re ten feet tall and bulletproof. Strong. Steady. Always there. But that invisible ‘S’ on your chest the one they place there, it fades with time.

This episode isn’t about being a superhero. It’s about who they see as the years pass… and what they remember when the strength looks different.

This week we talk:

Fatherhood, ageing and legacy

What children remember vs what we obsess over

Strength as return, not perfection

Emotional leadership and repair

Presence over performance

Writing your fatherhood story intentionally

Defining masculinity beyond power and control

This matters because:

Your kids won’t remember every word you said.

They won’t remember every mistake you made.

They’ll remember:

Whether you kept coming back

Whether you repaired after distance

Whether they felt safe beside you

The ‘S’ doesn’t stand for superhero. It stands for showing up again and again. And one day, when they’re older, that’s the strength they’ll recognise.

This week:

Write what you want them to remember, privately, honestly

Define what the ‘S’ means to you

Notice where you pull away and practice the return

Repair out loud: Apologise, explain, reconnect

Choose presence over image

Ask: Who will they see tomorrow if nothing changes?

Comment below (or journal privately):

What does the ‘S’ stand for in your home and who will they see tomorrow
