Episode 13 -My Son Said He Wanted A New Dad: The Man Your Kids are Watching

from The Walk

My son told my wife he wanted a new dad. Not because he didn't love me — because of the man I was being.That moment forced me to ask a question every father needs to sit with: what are my kids actually absorbing from me?Not the dad I think I am. The one they see every day. The reactions. The stress I bring home. The emotions I bury. The patterns I inherited and never questioned.In this episode I get brutally honest about the version of masculinity I grew up watching, why fatherhood exposes the parts of you that still need healing, and what it really means to break generational cycles — not just talk about it.Because here's the truth no one tells you: your kids don't inherit your intentions. They inherit your patterns.If you're a dad who wants to show up better — not perfectly, just more intentionally — this episode is for you.🎙️ The Walk is a podcast for men navigating fatherhood, identity, and growth.
