Lovely piece. I love how you put the pieces together about reframing identity. Every other part of our lives become louder than office work as we raise children. Relationships really take a front sit. How we make others laugh, who we entertain in ours space. There is so much work as regards identity shifts that happen to parents as they raise kids.
Great piece. I'm fascinated by these reframes. Making the gap for thought between action and reaction. Being the guy who doesn't talk about work all the time. And yes, doing something to break out of the pattern. I'm trying that in a big way now. Call it a midlife crisis, call it losing patience with my lack of presence and being endlessly surprised by my failures to fix it. But I think it's a response to the same essential problems.
Really interesting article, and looking forward to hearing more from these conversations.

Powerful piece, Kevin. Thanks for illuminating the shared struggle, and modeling a way to sit with the questions together.
