The One About Responsibility and Being a Trans Dad

Do you feel responsible for your own feelings and circumstances right now?
In this episode, I’m joined by Nick North to talk about responsibility, ownership and validation (among other things). We’re diving into how each of these topics show up in our relationships, in our families and in our own identities.
Listen on for:Our thoughts on responsibility, and teaching our families to own theirs
The impact of focusing on getting validation from others (and boundaries for making that okay)
The concept of an exploding doormat (i.e. the Misfit MO!)
How to take responsibility for ourselves when that’s not what we’re used to
An amazing tool for handling conflict and compromise in your relationships
The difference between being in a relationship as a woman and being in a relationship as a man
Understanding our privilege and how we can use that for the highest good

Meet NickNick North is a dude, a husband, a dad to 5 kids and a Branding Strategist. He also has a history of living as a woman, a wife, a mom, a photographer and even an EMR. When he embraced his identity and came out as transgender, he realised just how much gender affects the way we think, talk, sell and function. He now speaks from his experience on both sides of the gender coin, empowering men and women to live authentically and powerfully, while also making more money following their passion and their gut.
