What I’m Really Teaching My Sons About Being a Man
What are you really teaching your kids about being a man? Not with your words but with your behaviour. Not with big speeches but with how you show up when it’s uncomfortable.
This episode isn’t just for boy dads. It’s for any parent shaping how their children understand strength, courage, boundaries, respect and leadership. Because the man you model doesn’t just influence who they become, it influences what they tolerate from others.
This week we talk:
The masculinity crisis and the mixed messages our kids are absorbing
Four dominant male archetypes shaping modern culture and fatherhood
Why silence, submission or ego all teach something (whether you intend it or not)
The difference between loud masculinity and grounded leadership
Teaching sons (and daughters) what a good man looks like
Courage, values, self-respect and standing your ground without becoming hardened
Why fatherhood is a responsibility to shape the world your kids grow up in
And this matters because:
Your children are forming their definition of manhood right now.
From how you speak.
From what you tolerate.
From what you challenge.
From what you stand up for and what you stay silent on.
If you don’t define masculinity in your home, the world will do it for you.
And the version it offers is loud, fragile, reactive, or passive.
This episode is a call to step forward.
Not as a perfect man, but as a present, intentional one.
This week I want you to:
Identify the archetype you lean toward and the one you need to grow into
Define your non-negotiable values as a man, partner and father
Model strength with control, not ego, silence or avoidance
Let your kids see you think, choose and stand
Ask yourself weekly: If my children became exactly like me today would I be proud?
Build mental and physical strength not for image, but for longevity and leadership
