As fathers, we want to be more than providers, we want to be the place our children run to when life gets heavy. But what does it really mean to be a “safe person”?

In this episode, we unpack the power of being a safe father — someone whose presence brings peace, whose words bring encouragement, and whose love is unconditional. We’ll talk about:

• 🔹 The difference between being a strong father and being a safe father
• 🔹 How your reactions shape whether your kids open up or shut down
• 🔹 The simple ways to create a home where your kids feel truly seen and heard
• 🔹 Why being safe doesn’t mean being “soft” — it means being steady
• 🔹 Practical daily habits that help your kids know: “I can always go to Dad.”

Whether you grew up with a safe father or not, you have the chance to change the story for your children. This conversation will help you step into that role and leave a legacy of trust, presence, and love.

💡 Because the greatest gift you can give your kids isn’t perfection — it’s safety.

In today's episode, I discuss ways to release the Mental pressure of men and our everyday struggles. I firmly believe it is important to discuss the topic in regards to mental health as its such an epidemic in today's society. Too many men and fathers are taking their lives because they do not know how to cope with daily pressures and challenges of everyday life. My mission is to help spread the word of importance to discuss your struggles as well as believe that you are enough!

Stay positive, keep growing, keep fighting and remember to be the Hero to your children's stories!
