In this episode of The TMA Connection, Tim Markland sits down with Shane Handy, founder of Dads of Little Warriors, for an emotional and inspiring conversation about fatherhood, resilience, and finding purpose through hardship.
Shane shares the life-changing story of his daughter Luci’s birth, the 27 days she spent fighting in the NICU, and how that experience led him to create a support network for dads facing both everyday struggles and extraordinary challenges. From balancing family and work, to walking away from his diesel performance shop of nine years to be fully present for his family, Shane’s story is a testament to strength, sacrifice, and love.
This episode is raw, heartfelt, and a reminder to fathers everywhere that they are not alone in the fight.
