Episode notes

- Recognize the shift: you're no longer doing things just for yourself once you become a parent.
- Use that new responsibility as motivation to commit to consistent habits and focus.

- Remove junk food from your home and eat clean so your son will emulate a strong, healthy lifestyle.
