116e - Mike Gonzalez: Running a Business and Being a Dad Without Losing Yourself

The transformation that comes with fatherhood can be a rite of passage into manhood...but there aren't a lot of great role models out there for men who want to be present and involved in the birth process. Unconscious men breed unconscious births and unconscious children. In my holistic, unconventional OBGYN practice, ⁠Beloved Holistics, PCA⁠, I spend as much time with my pregnant clients as I do their partners to prepare them for this beautiful - though often scary - transition. In this podcast series, I want to bring the voices of strong, compassionate men into the room.

Mike Gonzalez has quickly and quietly become a mentor and anchor point for me. He is the owner of Freedom Builderz, and he has been helping me to create my new course, the Born Free Method. Mike is also the father of 3 and always seems to be un-phased by the realities of entrepreneurship. In this interview, Mike shares insights in remaining centered as a parent and partner all while maintaining a rockstar level company. This interview was a necessary contribution to both my ⁠Born Free Method⁠ course along with any responsible guidebook to owning your masculinity while raising children through the rollercoaster of their development.
