    Fatherhood, gender roles, parenting and identity. What if many of the assumptions we hold about parentingaren't based on truth, but on expectations we've inherited without ever questioning? In this thought-provoking episode of Your Truth Explored,Rodney Reynders sits down with author, speaker, former bodyguard, elite strength coach, Australian record holder, and solo father Michael Ray for a powerful conversation about fatherhood, leadership, and the stories society tells us about men and women.

His journey led him to question traditional gender expectations and discover what truly matters in raising resilient, capable, and connected children. In this episode we explore: 🔹 Why fatherhood is different, not less🔹The hidden expectations shaping modern parenting🔹How unsolicited advice can disconnect us from our own wisdom🔹Why asking better questions is more powerful than giving answers🔹The parallels between great leadership and great parenting🔹The importance of finding your "Big Why"🔹How emotions can become valuable allies rather than problems to fix🔹Why involved fathers' matter and what research tells us about their impact Whether you're a parent, leader, coach, educator, or simply someone interested in understanding human behaviour, this conversation offers valuable insights into relationships, personal growth, and challenging the stories that shape our lives. Sometimes the greatest truth isn't found in the answers we are given. It's found in the questions we are willing to ask. #Rodney Reynders #Your Truth Explored #Michael Ray

    Your Truth Explored Ep. 18 - David Westgate

    From Survival to Purpose: Rewriting the Mental HealthStory https://youtu.be/JshvZBtpdDU In this powerful and deeply human conversation, RodneyReynders sits down with David Westgate to explore what it really means to move from survival to purpose when living with mental health challenges. David shares his lived experience with bipolar disorder,opening up about the long road from “just getting by” to finally seeking help at 48 and discovering what normality can feel like. But this episode goes further than diagnosis. It is about redefining identity, finding meaning, and using lived experience as a platform for impact. Together, Rodney and David unpack:• Why mental health is rarely a single “aha” moment, but a gradual journey• The danger of trying to handle everything alone• How finding the right support is more like connection than correction• The power of conversation over advice• Why you don’t need to fix someone to support them• The role of silence, listening, and simply being present• How leaders can create psychologically safe environments by being human first This episode challenges the belief that strength means having all the answers. Instead, it reframes strength as the willingness to speak, listen, and connect. If you have ever felt unsure about how to support someone…If you have noticed red flags in yourself or others…Or if you are navigating your own journey with mental health… This conversation is for you. One of the most powerful takeaways:“You don’t need to fix people.
