This week on the Dad Spotlight podcast we are bringing you Colin Gray, The Podcast Host. We talk about balancing life and he stated that this took him some time to be able to get to a point where he has been able to let things go and stay present in his life. He definitely has had to work on this everyday and it is a struggle.
To be able to let things go, Colin Gray said that he started to play around with mindfulness and meditation and this was something that really helped him. It was at the time that he had his first child and he found himself that he was quite angry and difficult. He was not able to be as nice or as supportive as he wanted to be too. By practicing mindfulness he found that he is able to reconnect and find that he can be more in the moment with his family. While he was skeptical at first, he has found that this really helps.

We also talked about activities that Colin Gray has been able to do to be able to sustain himself. Colin Gray mentioned that for him podcasting was something that allows him to have a release and it actually has become his full time job. Prior to having his own podcast, he found that podcasts were his professional development and the place that he turned to for learning on almost any topic that he needed. He also made sure that he had 3-4 hours every weekend to be able to spend time with the kids, but also time to spend with his wife as this allowed them to feel more connected and made the entire family happier too. He also would carve out time for himself too.
Colin Gray has also been experimenting by taking some courses in areas that he had an interest within. Lately, he took classes on acting as he found that this would allow him to be able to work on his own public speaking skills. He pushes himself to do things that he may hate, but that he also knows will help him to learn and grow.
