  Who Am I Now? (A Dad's Honest Answer)

  Aug 16, 202614 min

  It was 2 AM, I was holding my firstborn, completely exhausted ,and I ‘dropped’ him, audible thud. That moment broke something open for me and I just have not been the same since. This episode is about the identity shift nobody warns you about as you enter the super early stages of fatherhood, some type of conflict internally of trying to hold on to who you might be prior to being a father and what becoming a father would ultimately look like. 0:00 Intro 2AM debacle 0:40 Something needed to change 2:22 Why I created the podcast3:00 Back story5.40 : Performative self 7.35 Post-partum depression for me9.30 F*** you parent energy10.15 : Seeing them less Resources and links to check out A FREE list of 10 books to read this year https://go.iamchoong.com/book-list A FREE resource of 150 recipes to help improve your health https://go.iamchoong.com/free-recipe-pack If you need some help with your health and fitness coaching check out how I can help you https://go.iamchoong.com/coaching Instagram https://www.instagram.com/i_am_choong/

  Your Kids Dont Need You To Be Average

  Jul 12, 202615 min

  Most parents don't want to be average. But somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we learned to hide the very things that made us special , and now we're teaching our kids to do the same. In this episode of the Time to Grow Up podcast, I break down why authenticity isn't something you force, it's something that emerges through exposure, experience, and the courage to stay weird when the world tells you to fit in. I go through Why kids are natural individualists and how social pressure slowly erases that My own story: going from a kid who acted on TV and loved public speaking to a teenager who buried it all just to fit in The Jiu-Jitsu sideline problem and what it reveals about parents living vicariously through their kids The single best thing parents can do (hint: it's exposure, not molding) Why losing your authenticity in your 20s hits hardest in your 30s and what to do about it 0:00 Intro 0:24 The authenticity paradox 1:00 Kids are natural individualists 2:06 My story 3:16 What I want for my kids 4:06 The parent's role: exposure, not molding 6:35 Don't let the judgments of others dictate what you give up 8:32 Being average ≠ being inauthentic 11:38 Authenticity cannot be forced 12:28 When repetition becomes a choice, development begins Resources and links to check out A FREE list of 10 books to read this year https://go.iamchoong.com/book-list A FREE resource of 150 recipes to help improve your health https://go.iamchoong.com/free-recipe-pack If you need some help with your health and fitness coaching check out how I can help you https://go.iamchoong.com/coaching Instagram https://www.instagram.com/i_am_choong/

  Bare Minimums: Why You Don't Need to Go Harder at Everything

  Jun 21, 202614 min

  Doing the bare minimum is an advice that sounds wrong, yet it might just be one (of the many) advice I would give my kids. In this episode, I break down why hustle culture is a coping mechanism disguised as ambition, and why the real skill isn't grinding harder , it's knowing when to shift into maintenance mode and do the bare minimum.A lot of the episode draws inspiration from Sahil Bloom's new book "5 Types of Wealth “ among other ideas I have come across in the past. This one's personal. It's also, I think, the conversation most dads in their 30s and 40s need to hear but rarely get. Timestamps: 0:00 Welcome back to the podcast 1:30 Bare Minimums 2:40 The 5 Types of Wealth (Sahil Bloom) 3:44 Hustle culture is an addiction 7:02 The bare minimum rules for health 9:08 Make a list for your seasons Resources and links to check out A FREE list of 10 books to read this year https://go.iamchoong.com/book-list A FREE resource of 150 recipes to help improve your health https://go.iamchoong.com/free-recipe-pack If you need some help with your health and fitness coaching check out how I can help you https://go.iamchoong.com/coaching Instagram https://www.instagram.com/i_am_choong/
