Description

You got into business to build a better life for your family – but what if the way you’re going about it is pulling you further away from them? The Provider Trap is real. You work long hours, chase growth, put food on the table – and convince yourself it’s all for them. But to your kids, it just looks like you’re never home. 

Good intentions can quietly unravel the very relationships you’re working so hard to protect. You don’t need to be home 24/7 – but when you’re there, are you really there? Learn how to become a present provider – someone who builds a thriving business and a connected family life. Because being proud of what you’ve built means your family is proud of you too. 

In this episode you’ll learn: 

🔨 Providing financially means little if you’re emotionally absent from your family life. 
🔨 Your kids remember time spent, not hours worked or money earned. 
🔨 Being physically home doesn’t mean you’re mentally present with your loved ones. 
🔨 Success isn’t 50/50 balance—it’s knowing when and where to be present. 
🔨 A strong business means nothing if it costs your family connection. 
🔨 The best legacy is kids who are proud to know you.
