• Why motherhood is not just a role, but a spiritual practice
• How to rewire generational patterns through your body and nervous system
• The difference between “thinking” motherhood and being motherhood

In this vulnerable solo episode, Mike shares his own awakening as a father — realizing that presence is more valuable than being the “hero.” He explores why the first three years of a child’s life are so critical, how a father’s nervous system imprints on his kids, and why shared family presence is the foundation of love, belonging, and resilience.

🌿 You’ll learn:

• Why children don’t need a hero — they need your presence

• The irreplaceable role of fathers in early childhood

• How presence impacts your partner, your kids, and your shared nervous system
