What if the greatest regret of your life isn’t something you did—but something you missed?
In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Mike Ayers explores how to regret-proof your fatherhood by turning fleeting minutes into unforgettable moments. Through deeply personal stories—including the bittersweet transition of giving his daughter away in marriage—Mike reflects on how easily we lose track of what matters most and how we can reclaim it, starting now.
You’ll discover how to slow down, stay present, and build memories that last—so you’re not haunted by “what ifs” years from now. This is a reminder that time is relentless—but with intention and grace, you can use it well.
Because one day will be the last bedtime story, the last piggyback ride, the last bedtime whisper “I love you, Daddy.”
Make sure you’re there for it.
