About this listen

🔑 What We Talk About:
Why “being there” isn’t always easy, but it always matters
How dads carry pressure to fix things instead of just be there
The pilot-in-turbulence metaphor that redefined Nick’s parenting mindset
Learning to shift from resentment to gratitude in daily chaos
Accepting failure and showing your kids that love is consistent, not perfect

💥 This Week’s Challenge:
Next time you walk into chaos after a long day, take a breath. Instead of trying to fix everything, try just being present — tired, imperfect, but available.
