Dads, What Will They Remember? How to Lead with Strength and Presence

Dads, when they look back… what will they remember? Is it the money you brought in, the stress, the long hours? Or is it the way you showed up, laughed with them and got down to their level and played with them.

You are a provider and a protector but what does being their dad cost you and them?

 

In this episode of Friday Fuel, we take a raw look at what strength really means in 2025 and how your kids are watching everything.

Fatherhood isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. It's about the chaos. It's about the joy and it's about legacy.

 

This matters because:

Your kids are learning strength, connection & resilience from YOU

Burnout might just be shaping your fatherhood story more than you think

You can lead your family without losing yourself

Making memories right now is more important than making them someday

 

This week we focus on:

Understanding the pressure all around you and how it stops you being present with them.

Making time to pause and reset before that first interaction after work.

This week I want you to:

Reflect on the role you play and anything that's stopping you giving them what they need.

 

Remember:

Your kids need more than a provider. They need a present, passionate, emotionally intelligent father. Your role is not just vital, it’s formative. So what version of you are they learning from?
