What happens when the very traits that fuel your success lead to collapse? In this raw and powerful episode, Army veteran and coach Craig Madden shares how years of emotional suppression in the British military led to physical and mental breakdown, and how he rebuilt his life from the ground up. Now “The Dad Stress Coach,” Craig challenges toxic norms around masculinity and leadership, helping men navigate identity, burnout, and fatherhood with clarity and purpose.

Listen now to hear how Craig is redefining strength—and learn what it really takes to lead, parent, and live well under pressure.
