You ever wish you could just stop?
Not forever — just pause. No noise, no deadlines, no one needing anything.
But then you remember — you don’t get that. Because you’re the one holding it all together. The one who keeps going when the tank’s been empty for weeks. The one who’s supposed to be unbreakable.
This episode is for every dad who’s been there — exhausted, invisible, and still showing up. I talk about the pressure of being “the glue,” what happens when that pressure starts to crack, and the truth about postpartum depression in fathers that almost no one talks about.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling apart but can’t afford to — this one’s for you.
