Description
For many working dads, taking care of work and family can gradually leave less room for friendships, personal interests, and the relationships that help them feel connected and supported.
Jason Lange has spent two decades helping men build deeper connections and better understand the role relationships and community play in their lives. He believes dads need support beyond their immediate families, both for their own well-being and to become more present partners and parents.
Jason shares how to:
Recognize when responsibility has started crowding out relationships and experiences that make you feel alive
Expand the idea of providing beyond financial security to include emotional presence
Move past the instinct to handle every challenge on your own
Make restorative time part of your life
Model healthier relationships, connection, and self-care for your kids
Jason offers a thoughtful perspective on fatherhood, work life balance, presence at home, and the importance of maintaining meaningful relationships while managing the demands of work and family.
