Wisdom for Warriors

This is the most personally raw conversation I’ve ever shared on the mic. I open up about the wounds I carry from my relationship with my father and how those experiences have shaped—and sometimes challenged—my own journey as a dad.I also speak candidly about my experience walking beside my wife through pregnancy and the incredible moment of our child’s birth—sharing the often overlooked side of the story: what it’s like for fathers.This episode is a personal account of those chapters in my life, and I hope it sparks conversations around topics that are too often ignored, like father wounds and the trauma dads can experience during birth.https://www.operationalindustries.com?sca_ref=9302518.mcaDCbvB85HOBzCode PaulW4W at checkout for discount.https://arrowheadtacticalapparel.com/?ref=PaulW4WCode Paul at checkout for discount.
