👨👧 "You Don’t Get Back the Time”: Lessons from a Girl Dad
In this Movember series episode, I sat down with Billy Jackson—a healthcare IT leader, dad to two amazing daughters, and one of the most reflective men I know. We explored the unique pressures men face in work, life, and health, with Billy sharing his personal journey of navigating fear, fatherhood, and redefining priorities.
One of Billy’s key takeaways: “You don’t get back the time.” Parenthood taught him to value presence over fear and perfection, offering life lessons that extend far beyond family. In our conversation, we discuss:
The critical importance of work-life balance
Fear of job loss and its impact on men’s mental health
The stigma surrounding men’s health and seeking help
Why being a “girl dad” provides invaluable insights into women’s health and human connection
Billy’s thoughtful reflections are a reminder that conversations about men’s issues are human issues—and addressing them benefits everyone.
