Five years ago, I made a decision that broke my kids’ hearts. I thought I was protecting my family, but the truth is I was protecting myself. I wasn’t strong enough to handle the pressure of being a husband, father, and provider, and it showed up in the hardest way possible.

In this emotional episode, I share one of the most painful chapters of my journey the day I chose to rehome our family dog, and the years of regret that followed. More importantly, I reveal the transformation that turned me from a man who made decisions from weakness and survival… into a man who now leads from strength, discipline, and abundance.

Inside this story, you’ll learn:

• Why stress and overwhelm cause men to make decisions that hurt the ones they love most
• How “survival mode” robs you of the capacity to lead as a husband and father
• The painful difference between making choices from your limitations vs. your potential
• What it looks like to build real capacity mentally, physically, and emotionally so you can serve your family at the highest level

This episode isn’t just about a dog. It’s about the man you’re becoming.
Because when you don’t have the strength to carry life’s weight, your family carries the pain instead.
