If you're working in a demanding career or you associate yourself with being a high achiever, and you're also raising children, this podcast episode is for you.

In this episode of the Balanced Warrior Podcast, we dive into a raw and emotional conversation about parenting, connection, and what it means to truly show up for your kids. All while managing and growing a demanding career.

Coach Michael and Paul discuss parenting, not built on perfection, but on vulnerability. They discuss the realization that love, presence, and authenticity matter more than anything else.

Key Highlights:

• Vulnerability Creates Connection: being a vulnerable parent can be hard, but it can make a big difference in your relationship with your children.
• Three Mantras That Matter: “I love you. I’m proud of you. I’m grateful you’re my child.” Simple, consistent words that build unshakable emotional security.
• Presence Over Perfection: Rearranging life to be at every game, and important event because showing up matters.
• Meeting Them Where They Are: From sharing personal struggles to spontaneous dinners, scheduling one-on-one time, and learning new things together, it’s about building trust on their terms.
• Positive Influence Through Media: Using digital platforms to subtly drip-feed uplifting, faith-based, and value-driven content as a counterbalance to mainstream noise.
• Parenting as Legacy: It's not about shaping kids in your image, but supporting their identity and cheering on their path, whether it mirrors yours or not.

If you are a high achiever juggling a demanding career, this is a reminder that the most powerful thing a parent can do is be present, be real, and be consistent.
