What if the pressure you’re carrying was never fully yours to carry? In this powerful podcast episode, Steve McHale sits down with Josh Price, founder of The Pause Method, to talk about faith, fatherhood, leadership, trauma, emotional resilience, and how to stop reacting when life feels impossible.

Josh shares the story of his daughter Brighton, who was born with a rare mitochondrial disorder called Leigh syndrome, and how months in the hospital, life-or-death moments, and the weight of being a husband and father forced him to learn how to pause, breathe, write, listen, and take action. This conversation is for men, fathers, leaders, entrepreneurs, veterans, husbands, and anyone who feels burned out, overwhelmed, stuck in their head, or unsure how to move forward.

You’ll hear how Josh turned pain into purpose, how a single question changed his mindset, and how The Pause Method helps you build awareness, responsibility, authority, action, accountability, and real leadership. If you’ve been searching for personal growth, emotional control, men’s mindset coaching, faith-based self improvement, or a practical way to find peace under pressure, this episode gives you a simple but powerful framework.

You’ll learn:

→ How his daughter’s medical journey became the catalyst for The Pause Method and why pausing is not about doing nothing, but about creating space to hear what your soul is saying before you react.

→ How to move from “this is happening to me” into “why is this in my story?” so you can take ownership without blaming yourself or carrying responsibility that does not belong to you.

→ The seven steps of The Pause Method, including the authority breath, writing through your thoughts, identifying the voice of your opponent, listening for the still small voice, choosing the story you want, and taking one action within 24 hours.

→ More on leadership, masculinity, faith, business, money, burnout, accountability, manifestation, and why the next right step is often simple, but not easy.
