Fatherhood is a journey filled with both joy and challenges, and it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs while navigating this path. In this episode of 'The Alcohol ReThink Podcast', Patrick Fox sits down with Jai Singh, a life coach dedicated to helping fathers lead lives brimming with purpose and passion.
Jai, who describes himself as a 'work-in-progress' in his roles as a man, husband, and dad, shares invaluable insights on how fathers can reignite their inner fire and show up more fully for their families. They dive into the evolving role of parenting, discussing how modern fatherhood differs from previous generations. Jai emphasizes the importance of preparing for fatherhood, not just practically but emotionally, and how connecting with other men can provide much-needed support.
They also touch on how fatherhood can resurface childhood wounds and the importance of understanding and meeting your own needs. One of the key takeaways from their conversation is the habit of regularly asking yourself, 'What am I feeling right now? What do I need right now?' This simple practice can be transformative in managing intense emotions and staying grounded.
Jai also talks about learning to trust your intuition and dispelling the 'monster' we often create in our minds, which rarely manifests as feared. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt wisdom for any father striving to balance self-care with the demands of parenting. Whether you're a new dad or have been at it for years, you'll find something to resonate with in Jai's approach to fatherhood and self-discovery.
