A Cellular Calling: Why Men Must Reclaim Paternity Leave

Liberating Menopause

The Billion Dollar Surrender” Fatherhood begins with biology. Billions in paternity leave go unused — but what if claiming it improves productivity, home life, and emotional strength? Reclaiming paternity isn’t weakness; it’s a cellular calling to lead with purpose. When a child is on the way, it isn’t just the mother who transforms — men do, too. Fatherhood isn't a future role; it's a biological shift that begins in pregnancy. Nature cues men to soften, connect, and prepare — biologically priming them for presence. Yet every year, billions in paternity leave go unused, despite its proven benefits to workplace productivity and long-term wellness. This episode unpacks how honoring that cellular calling isn’t just about bonding — it's about building stronger families, healthier partners, and more grounded homes. Reclaiming paternity is not surrender; it's leadership at its deepest. This episode is brought to you NVisionU. Visit NVisionU.com/verndix for more information.
