Intro

This episode is for the man who knows he was made for more—but somewhere along the way, lost his edge.

Christine sits down with Chris Rodak, founder of Rising Father, for a powerful, no-fluff conversation on reclaiming masculinity, rebuilding self-trust, and becoming the kind of man your family can lean on. Chris opens up about his journey from undisciplined and uninspired to shredded, self-led, and spiritually grounded. Whether you're in a rut, feeling unmotivated, or just craving a new level of leadership in your marriage, your body, or your business—this one is packed with truth bombs and tactical takeaways.

Key Takeaways:

• Why most men lose their fire—and how to get it back
• How discipline in your body builds trust in your relationships
• The “Hurricane vs. Lighthouse” analogy for masculine leadership
• Why saying “no” is one of the most loving things a man can do
• Chris’s “Fire List” practice for staying consistent and fired up
• Why most men don’t need more motivation—they need better structure
• How to go from being a passive participant to the trusted rock in your family
