Manage episode 440638650 series 3480920
How has toxic masculinity transformed the role of fatherhood, and what can we do to reclaim the true essence of masculinity? Join us in this episode as we confront the alarming issue of fatherlessness, a crisis with deep societal and generational roots. We'll share personal stories that highlight the immense pressure men face to be ideal fathers and role models while contending with their own upbringing and societal norms. By exploring these challenges, we set the stage for a heartfelt discussion on the responsibilities and pressures that fathers navigate today, with insights from those who have walked this path.
Discover the importance of intentional connection and engagement in fatherhood as we recount our own experiences of adapting to our children's interests and being present in their lives. Learn how playing to our strengths as parents and supporting each other in these roles can leave a lasting impact on our children. Through candid reflections, we reveal how the time spent with our children is far more significant than the time spent working, and we offer wisdom on striving for a balanced and meaningful relationship with our kids.
As our children transition from adolescence to adulthood, maintaining a strong presence and connection becomes critical. We delve into personal experiences of navigating these challenging years, underscoring the importance of instilling values and ensuring a smooth transition to adulthood while preserving relationships. The episode also touches on the role of mentorship and the necessity for lifelong guidance and wisdom. Finally, we encourage continued engagement and conversation, reminding listeners of the enduring need for father figures and the value of shared learning across all stages of life.
