Navigating Change: Lessons in Parenthood and Relationships

Episode #1011

Doug and Coach Neil get into a real, grounded conversation about what it looks like to lead at home when things are shifting—whether it’s your kid pulling away for the first time or your marriage feeling a little off. They talk through the quiet stuff most men don’t say out loud: feeling alone, second-guessing yourself, and wondering if you're really showing up the way you want to.

This isn’t about fixing your wife or your kid. It’s about you. Are you actually leading, or are you hoping things sort themselves out? Doug shares a moment that stopped him in his tracks, and Neil opens up about what his son—and his ex—are still teaching him about how to show up as a man with purpose and presence.

If you’ve been coasting or caught in blame, this episode’s a chance to reset. You don’t need to be perfect. But you do need to be honest. That’s where change actually starts.
