In this heartfelt and honest episode, Colin shares his journey of transitioning from a high-stress corporate job to becoming a stay-at-home dad. What started as an offhand comment to his wife turned into one of the most challenging yet rewarding decisions of his life. We discuss:

• The toxic work environment that pushed him to rethink his priorities.
• The struggles of balancing work and unreliable childcare for our two young daughters.
• The mental and emotional challenges of leaving behind a corporate career
• How therapy helped him navigate the difficult transition and process his new identity.
• The joy and fulfillment of prioritizing family and fully embracing the role of a stay-at-home dad.

Key Takeaways:

• Prioritizing your family doesn’t mean giving up on your passions—it’s about finding a new rhythm.
• Transitioning into a new role, especially one outside societal norms, takes time and mental adjustment.
• It’s okay to ask for help, seek therapy, and take things one step at a time.
