In this unforgettable episode of 15 Minutes with Dad, Mariah takes full control of the mic—and the questions. What starts as a casual conversation quickly turns into a powerful exploration of what it’s really been like for her to grow up with Lirec Williams as her dad.

What makes this episode special? Lirec doesn’t hold back.

He opens up about the fear he felt becoming a father as a teen, how that fear led to drastic decisions, and the mistakes he made while navigating teenage fatherhood with nothing but instinct and heart. Mariah brings the real questions—and Lirec meets them with raw honesty, vulnerability, and a desire to grow.

🎯 In this episode, you’ll hear:

• A daughter’s perspective on the father-daughter dynamic
• A father’s reflection on his own parenting mistakes and early fears
• Honest discussion around the emotional pressure of being a young father
• How fear of failure shaped early fatherhood decisions
• A healing moment of vulnerable parenting and mutual understanding

💡 This episode isn’t about perfection—it’s about emotional growth, open dialogue, and what happens when we really listen to our children. Whether you're a parent, a teen, or someone reflecting on your own upbringing, this conversation is a reminder that healing often begins with a hard truth—and a heart that’s willing to hear it.
