In this emotionally rich episode of 15 Minutes with Dad, things got a bit heavier than usual—but for all the right reasons.

Lirec Williams sits down with his daughter Mariah to have an open and vulnerable conversation about how a father’s presence—his energy, choices, and emotional tone—shapes the way a child sees both him and herself. Through laughter and heartfelt moments, the two explore how parent-child connection is built not just on actions, but on emotional awareness and mutual understanding.

🎯 In this episode, you’ll hear:

• A teen’s honest reflections on how her father’s behavior makes her feel
• The importance of checking in emotionally, even when things feel uncomfortable
• How self-awareness in parenting can improve trust and deepen your bond
• What it means to listen, grow, and adapt through real emotional reflection
• The shared responsibility of shaping identity in both parent and child

💡 This episode reminds us that intentional parenting isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being present, willing to grow, and open to seeing ourselves through the eyes of our children.
