Men Don't Get to Break: Pick Your Head Up, Your Family Is Watching

from Call Me First Hosted by Damian Lewis

Send us Fan Mail You wake up and everything looks fine on the outside. Bills are getting handled. Family is good. You have more wins than most men you know. But inside your head you are fighting a war nobody can see. You are worried about tomorrow. About whether you are doing enough. About whether the plan is working. About the people who depend on you and whether you are going to come through for them the way they need you to. And the hardest part is you cannot put that weight on anybody. Not your wife. Not your boys. Not anybody. Because this is one of those things a man has to go through himself. In this episode Damian gets real about what happened when he picked up the mic after almost a year away. No script. No light setup. Just a man who was sitting at his desk getting his head handed to him by his own thoughts and decided to turn the camera on anyway. If you have ever felt like you were failing the people who need you most even when the evidence says otherwise, this one is for you. Pain demands to be felt. But you cannot stay there. Go through it. Get up. Get back to work. That is what we do. Topics covered: Man stuff and what it actually means to carry real responsibility. Why going through it alone sometimes builds what nothing else can. How to stay present for your family when you are fighting a war in your own head. What to do when the plans you are putting together are not working. The difference between being grateful and wanting more. And why your purpose has to be bigger than you.
