Send us a text

In this powerful episode of 15 Minutes with Dad, host Lirec Williams explores how fathers shape their sons' emotional, mental, and masculine identities through presence—not performance.

Drawing from attachment theory, growth insights, and real-life fatherhood challenges, this episode unpacks how early father-son relationships impact everything from emotional regulation to identity formation and future relationships. Learn how insecure attachment and outdated views of masculinity can lead to emotional detachment, anger, or self-doubt—and how to break the cycle.

You’ll gain practical, evidence-based tools to build your son’s emotional resilience and model healthy masculinity in a world that desperately needs it.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

• The impact of early attachment on boys' development
• How father wounds and avoidant behaviors show up in adult men
• What modern, emotionally intelligent masculinity looks like
• 5 real strategies for raising sons with confidence, clarity, and compassion

Whether you're a new dad, a co-parent, or working through your own emotional healing, this episode offers a roadmap for building secure attachment, transforming your fatherhood identity, and leading your son into a future defined by emotional strength—not suppression.

Take the challenge: Lead your son this week with intention. Reflect out loud. Connect on purpose. Show him how a man loves, listens, and leads—with heart.
