Is your pursuit of provision costing you the connection your kids truly need?

In this honest and empowering episode of 15 Minutes with Dad, explore the impact of financial pressures on fatherhood and how emotional presence is key.'Host Lirec Williams opens up about the invisible weight of family financial pressures—and how the relentless chase for money, security, and status can quietly disconnect us from the heart of fatherhood.

Drawing from personal insights and inspired by Jim Murphy’s Inner Excellence, Lirec breaks down the “provider trap”—the belief that a father's worth is tied to his wallet. He shares the turning point in his own life when he realized: “They needed me more than they needed more.”

This episode invites fathers to redefine success—not by income, but by emotional presence, impact, and intentional time. Because true fatherhood leadership is about showing up, not just providing.

🎯 What You’ll Learn:

• How the provider mindset affects your family bond
• Why growth insights matter more than gifts
• 4 powerful shifts to move from financial striving to successful parenting
• Stories that show emotional wealth outlasts material gain
• How to lead with purpose and presence—even under pressure

💡 Whether you're thriving financially or stretched thin, this episode offers practical tools and empathetic parenting strategies to help you reconnect, reframe, and lead your family with clarity and heart.

🎧 This week’s 15-minute challenge:
Pause the grind. Create one moment of presence with your child. Ask a question. Step into their world. Let the phone wait. Because in the end, your legacy isn’t what you earned—it’s how you showed up.
