In this raw and heartfelt episode of 15 Minutes with Dad, things got a bit heavy—but necessarily so.

Lirec Williams sits down with his daughter Mariah for a vulnerable and deeply personal conversation about the emotional nuances of the father-daughter relationship. Together, they explore how a father’s presence, tone, and decisions can shape not only a child’s experience—but also the way that father sees himself.

🎯 In this episode, you'll hear:

• How children internalize the energy and actions of their parents
• Why how we show up as parents deeply impacts our teen’s sense of safety and love
• Honest reflections on how Lirec’s parenting style makes Mariah feel
• The importance of supportive communication and checking in emotionally
• What it means to adapt and grow as a father—in real time

💡 This episode invites listeners into the often unspoken emotional world of teen parenting and offers a model for healing conversations that build trust, respect, and connection.

It’s not about perfection—it’s about being intentional, present, and willing to listen when your child says, “This is how you affect me.”
