Your extraordinary marriage starts here: www.thedadedge.com/25questions
Let me ask you something—when was the last time you truly looked in the mirror and faced the truth about your life? Not the highlight reel you post online, but the cracks, the pressure, and the pain you're stuffing down just to keep moving. If you’re like most men, you’re stretched thin—busy as hell, managing work, kids, marriage, and the unrelenting chaos of life. But here's the kicker: that busyness? It’s a silent killer. It destroys connection, patience, and peace in ways you don’t even see until the damage is done.
Today, in this week's Friday Fatherly Fumbles, First Downs, and Field Goals, I’m not here to sugarcoat anything. I’m going to share a story—a raw, unfiltered account of how my own life hit a breaking point. A season of overwhelm left me yelling at my kids, disconnected from my wife, and questioning if I even deserve to do this work. If you’ve ever felt guilt, shame, or the weight of trying to be everything to everyone, this episode is for you. Because let’s face it, if we don’t course-correct, it’s not just us who suffer; it’s the people we love most.
