Let’s be honest… most of us didn’t grow up with the role model we needed. 

We needed someone calm when life was chaotic. 

Someone who spoke life instead of criticism. 

Someone who saw potential in us even when we couldn’t see it ourselves. If you didn’t have that person — you’re not alone. 

But here’s the truth: 

🛑 You can become that person now. 

Not just for yourself. But for your spouse, your kids, your community — and the younger version of you still hoping someone shows up. 

In this raw and powerful episode of The Joshua Bridwell Show, I’m sharing the truth about what it really means to become the man or woman you needed growing up. 

We’re talking about the journey from emotional absence to emotional wholeness. 

From surviving to leading. 

From wounded to wise. 

Whether you’re healing from family dysfunction, growing as a parent or leader, or simply tired of repeating patterns you swore you’d never carry… this conversation is for you. 

👉 It’s not just about self-help.

👉 It’s not just about personal development. 

👉 It’s about legacy. 

Because when you become who you needed — you start building what no one else did. And that changes everything. 

🔎 What You’ll Walk Away With: 

  • How to identify the gap between who you needed and who you are now 
  • Why most people are silently leading from pain — and how to stop 
  • What it really means to “break the cycle” and build emotional legacy 
  • Five powerful steps you can take today to begin the becoming process 
  • How to partner with God in the middle of your growth journey
