In this powerful coaching session, Joe Hudson works with a father who believes pushing down his anger and sadness makes him a better parent.

This 12-minute session captures the exact moment when resistance transforms to aliveness.

• Why clamping down on "negative" emotions blocks access to joy and excitement
• The difference between struggle WITH resistance vs. struggle WITHOUT resistance
• Simple exercise - "You're not the boss of me" to unlock emotional truth
• Why parenting is "the deep tissue massage" that rips your ego out day by day

• How letting your heart break open makes parenting infinitely more easeful
