That reaction; it’s not them. It’s your past. In this episode I pull up the mirror and ask the tough question: Are you raising your kids or are you reliving and raising your own unfinished story? This week we cover: Why your daily habits, reactions and coping mechanisms shape your child’s future. The “Mirror Test” and spotting the parts of yourself showing up in your child. Practical steps to switch from avoidance to presence so your kids inherit resilience, not shame. Why this episode matters (for dads right now): Kids don’t remember the promotion. They remember how you made them feel. If you’re distracted, exhausted, numb or angry, your children absorb it as their normal. Fatherhood is a leadership role and leaders must do the internal work. This is designed to get you thinking about how you respond and reflect on whether you meet fire with fire. Actionable takeaways: Door-drop ritual: Leave the week at the door, taking 3 minutes to breathe and connect when you walk in. One habit swap: Replace one avoidance habit (drinks, endless scrolling) with a repair habit (10-min walk, 10-min play). Track it for 7 days. Mirror journaling: When you react, write the trigger + one possible root from your own past and see if you can spot that little bit of you staring back during those tense standoffs. 🔊 Listen & connect: Subscribe for weekly Friday Fuel.

Dads, be honest with yourself: Would you want to be raised by you? Fatherhood isn’t just about providing, it’s about leading, protecting, and shaping your children’s future. But here’s the hard truth: the way you show up today is already becoming your child’s inner voice tomorrow. In this episode we share the raw truth about facing the man in the mirror and confronting the patterns we carry from our own childhood. If you’ve ever wrestled with: ✅ Dad guilt and feeling like you’re not enough. ✅ Fear of failure and worrying you’ll repeat mistakes you grew up with. ✅ Pressure to provide while neglecting presence and connection. ✅ Anger, frustration, or burnout that spills into your home. …then this is your wake-up call. This week we work on: How your past influences the father you’re becoming. Why raising kids isn’t about fixing your broken pieces but about building their confidence and resilience. How to shift from guilt to clarity, and lead your family with strength and love. Practical ways to show up daily even when life feels overwhelming. 👉 This episode isn’t about shame it’s about ownership and taking responsibility for the way you respond under pressure. Because your kids don’t need a perfect dad. They need a present one. 🎧 Listen now and ask yourself: If your younger self walked into your home today would he feel safe, loved, and proud of the man you’ve become?   Join the Modern Fatherhood Club.

Dads, here’s the uncomfortable question: Are you raising your kids to be strong or just safe? In today’s world, filled with distractions, diluted masculinity, and endless outside influence, the role of a father has never been more important. In this episode of Answer Me This, we go deep into what it really means to raise resilient children in 2025. We explore: ✅ Why protecting kids from every struggle can weaken them for the future. ✅ How to teach resilience, confidence, and self-worth in a fragile culture. ✅ The tension between safety and strength and why your kids need both. ✅ The influence of school, society, screens and how dads must lead at home. Your kids don’t need a perfect dad. They need a father who shows them how to fail, rise, and try again. This isn’t about survival. It’s about raising kids ready to thrive in a tough world.  If you’re a new dad, boy dad, or father determined to raise resilient kids, this episode will challenge you to think differently and act with conviction.

Dads, be honest. Does fatherhood feel like a duty… or a privilege? In this week’s Friday Fuel – Answer Me This episode, we cut deep into the question I believe we need to answer as modern dads: Are you showing up out of obligation, or out of love and presence? Too often, life’s noise, work deadlines, bills, exhaustion turns fatherhood into a checklist instead of a connection. But here's what I think we wrestle with every day: Our kids need connection, they're not looking to you to be perfect, all they need is your time and your presence. In this raw and reflective conversation, I share: ✅ Why presence is greater than perfection in modern fatherhood ✅ How to shift from “managing your kids” to truly connecting with them ✅ The danger of letting duty drown out joy and gratitude ✅ Simple mindset shifts to help you lead with clarity, love, and strength Whether you’re an expectant father, a new dad on paternity leave, or a man in the grind of balancing work, family, and identity, this episode will push you to pause, reflect, and redefine what fatherhood means to you. Don’t let fatherhood pass you by. Start treating it as the gift it truly is. Join the Modern Fatherhood Club.

“I can’t cope. I don’t want to be alive anymore.” These are the words that shattered my family and saved my future. In this deeply personal episode of Answer Me This, I share the moment I hit rock bottom and how that moment became the turning point that reshaped my role as a dad, a husband, and a man. If you’ve ever felt like you were failing... If you’ve ever carried guilt, anger, or shame in silence... If you’ve ever questioned whether your family would be better off without you...   STOP! You're not alone. They need you. And this episode is for you. I believed I was destined to fail, and that my family would be better off without me. But when everything was stripped away, I found a deeper truth: That it was never about me. It's always been about them. And, I’m not here to be perfect but I’m here to build legacy. The shift from internal doubt to external duty is what makes a man a father. That’s what turns our fear into fuel. In this episode: ✅ The truth about fatherhood and mental health most men don’t talk about ✅ The cost of silence, and the power of one honest conversation ✅ How vulnerability, accountability, and action can rebuild trust ✅ What it takes to reset when you’ve reached the edge This isn’t just storytelling. I hope it's the wake up call you need. Fatherhood isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, especially when it’s hard. If you’re a dad carrying pressure, pain, or doubt, this episode will help you find clarity, strength, and hope again. But here's my challenge to you... In this series I want you to take a deeper look at your story, so every week I'm going to ask you to answer a couple of questions. Why? Because these are the questions that helped me craft the episode and helped me understand fully my role and how I show up. 1) When did you realise that something had to change and that the way you were showing up as a father and husband just wasn’t enough anymore? 2) What did you believe about yourself in that moment of crisis… and what belief did you choose to adopt instead?

Dads, it’s time to drop the act. This episode is raw. Unfiltered. Personal. I nearly walked out of life. Not the house but life. And if you've ever sat in the quiet, holding the weight of fatherhood while no one noticed then you need this.   In this special Father’s Day episode of Friday Fuel, I launch a new series: Answer Me This. It's a brutally honest look at what fatherhood really feels like when the pressure becomes too much. In this episode: ✅ Why silence nearly destroyed me and why I’ll never stay quiet again ✅ The lie most dads believe about strength and how it’s breaking us ✅ The real reason dads disconnect, shut down, and feel invisible ✅ The powerful questions that helped me rediscover my worth as a dad This isn't motivational fluff. This is for the dad who's struggling behind a smile. This is for the man who's ready to stop pretending and start showing up. You won’t hear this in most dad podcasts. No filters. No fake strength. Just real conversations that redefine modern fatherhood. I want to answer the questions that help inspire you to take a long hard look in the mirror. I had to get clear on my impact and the mistakes I'd made before I became a dad. Why? Because I believe self reflection helps you to become the dad they need you to be.

Dads, when they look back… what will they remember? Is it the money you brought in, the stress, the long hours? Or is it the way you showed up, laughed with them and got down to their level and played with them. You are a provider and a protector but what does being their dad cost you and them?   In this episode of Friday Fuel, we take a raw look at what strength really means in 2025 and how your kids are watching everything. Fatherhood isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. It's about the chaos. It's about the joy and it's about legacy.   This matters because: Your kids are learning strength, connection & resilience from YOU Burnout might just be shaping your fatherhood story more than you think You can lead your family without losing yourself Making memories right now is more important than making them someday   This week we focus on: Understanding the pressure all around you and how it stops you being present with them. Making time to pause and reset before that first interaction after work. This week I want you to: Reflect on the role you play and anything that's stopping you giving them what they need.   Remember: Your kids need more than a provider. They need a present, passionate, emotionally intelligent father. Your role is not just vital, it’s formative. So what version of you are they learning from?

Mate. I've been there. I've overlooked the issue and gone straight to the solution. Guess what? That's not what she's after.   This week we focus on: The difference between responding and truly hearing your partner. Why emotional availability matters in fatherhood and partnership. The impact of your presence during early motherhood and her return to work. How your solution-focused mindset might be creating distance, not connection. This matters because: When motherhood meets career, the emotional load can be overwhelming. She’s not looking for a fix but she is looking for support. When you listen with empathy, validate her struggle, and show up, you create space for her confidence to grow.   This week I want you to: Learn to pause, listen and then offer solutions. Validate her emotions, even if you don’t fully understand them Respect the internal conflict of modern motherhood. Make sure you don’t dismiss it Show emotional leadership by being present, not just physically but emotionally too   Drop a comment below: When was the last time you jumped in before listening to the problem?

There’s a voice inside all of us. This voice questions, doubts, and sometimes drags us into darkness. That voice isn’t just shaping you. It’s shaping your children, how they see setback and how they respond under pressure. This week we talk about: How internal dialogue and burnout affect your confidence and parenting Why unaddressed struggles can sabotage your relationship and your kids’ mental strength How to reshape your mindset, reconnect with purpose, and guide your children with clarity The dangerous legacy of silence and how to replace it with powerful connection This matters because: The way you talk to yourself in tough moments becomes the voice your children internalise. If you’re distracted, emotionally distant, or ashamed of your struggles then they will feel it. But when you lead with honesty, strength, and vulnerability, you build the foundation for their future resilience. This week I want you to: Understand how your inner voice affects your ability to connect. Replace avoidance with progress by building daily habits that restore clarity. Stop hiding your struggles, reach out, reflect, and talk. Give your children permission to own their voice by owning yours. It's our action in the silence that will help us become better role models and help them find their passion, confidence and strength.

You’re not broken. You’re buried. Buried under routine. Under pressure. Under silence. This week we talk about the emotional weight we carry and how unchecked routines, emotional bottling, and misaligned priorities are quietly eroding your confidence, connection, and clarity. This week we explore: How unchecked routines can become a prison, not a solution What your kids really see when you're not on form Why reflection, not just repetition is key to mental strength How your presence, tone, and actions shape their self-worth This matters because: Your role as a father is unmatched. Your influence runs deep. But if you're running on fumes, buried by responsibility, conflict, or a routine that no longer works for you, then you're not giving them the version of you they need. I want you to know that we (The Modern Fatherhood Club) respect the massive impact you're having on your kids lives. I personally understand the pressure but know this, we can adapt, reset and if we choose the right path then we can lead by example. This week: Reflect on the effectiveness of your daily routine. Does it fuel you or just tick boxes? Look at your week. Where are you reacting instead of leading? Simplify your actions, take a step back and reconnect. Take one step this week that prioritises your mental and emotional strength.   I needed support when I felt under pressure. Remember you’re not alone in this.   Join the Modern Fatherhood Club.
