The Myth of Emotional Weakness: Why Mindful Dads Are Strong
Manage episode 487916810 series 3591176
We’ve been sold a lie; that silence is strength, that emotions are weakness, and that mindful dads are somehow less “manly.” In this episode, Odeani unpacks the deeply rooted myth of emotional weakness in fatherhood and masculinity. From real-life stories with his son and nephew to personal moments of emotional resilience, he reveals why meditation isn’t a retreat from strength; it’s a return to it.
Learn how mindfulness helps dads become less reactive, more emotionally grounded, and deeply connected to their children. If you’ve ever felt like you're not “allowed” to feel, or you’ve questioned whether meditation fits your idea of masculinity, this episode is for you.
Plus: A guided meditation to help you sit with, and rise above what you feel.
