In this episode of the Positive Legacy Podcast, Dan Hayden continues the Sage Perspective series by addressing how work stress shapes the way fathers show up at home. Many Christian dads carry the weight of being the provider in ways that quietly steal their presence, patience, and peace with their families.
Dan reframes work through the Sage lens, shifting identity from performance to stewardship, and offers a simple, repeatable transition practice to help fathers walk through the door calm, grounded, and present instead of depleted and reactive.
