Some men have this self-generated pressure to be a better provider to their family. Why do men do this? In many ways this is cultivated in us as boys very early on. We have seen our fathers take on this role, or constantly see it on TV or in movies. One of the hardest things to balance as a parent is spending as much time as you can with your kids, while spending as much time as you need to provide for them financially. Sometimes personal pressures don't come from anyone else but ourselves. However, it does not mean those pressures are any less difficult to manage. 

My guest tonight says when you’ve been accustomed to accepting an identity that has been handed to you; you become stuck. Let’s tear out your tags, overcome what’s holding you back, live emboldened within yourself, and embolden others along the way. Bee is the host of the Tear Out The Tags podcast, where you learn to remove the labels that are holding you back. Your life is increasingly defined by simple words that are meant to categorize you. These words are turned into hashtags, making you feel stuck with a limited definition of what you can be in this world. Tags, though helpful online, are ineffective at fully describing how big and extraordinary you are.
