How you are as a dad is impacted by your past. You either raise your kids the same way your parents raised you, or you intentionally change your approach, aiming to avoid the pain that you personally went through.
In George’s case, he thought he had a good childhood. It wasn’t until later on that he realized how dysfunctional his family was. All the trauma led him to become an angry young man who didn’t mature emotionally and developed a lot of insecurities.
When he became a father, he realized that he needed to carve his own path as a father. He also discovered other men like him — struggling with impostor syndrome and struggling to ask for help. That’s why he started surrounding himself with the right people and became more intentional about spending his time and energy making himself a better man.
In this episode, George shares his mission of helping other men who struggle to be vulnerable. Learn about the pitfalls of isolation and the role that connecting with the right people can play in helping men heal from their past.
