1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Season 2 is on its way and while we get ready, we're revisiting this deeply personal episode on the provider trap because feeling stuck as the breadwinner is one of the most common and most solvable challenges in career reinvention. If you're the primary breadwinner or you carry the &quot;provider&quot; identity, Career ReInvention can feel impossible. The fear is real: If I change jobs, the whole system collapses. Mortgage. Bills. Kids. Expectations. Your nervous system starts treating reinvention like a threat. In this episode, Chris and Todd unpack the Provider Trap - the hidden identity that keeps high-achievers locked into misaligned work long after it stops working. They talk about why &quot;providing&quot; is more than a paycheck (presence, energy, relationships, legacy), how fear and scarcity get passed down through generations, and why staying in the wrong career can quietly cost you the very family life you're trying to protect. They also get a bit personal with their own stories. Chris reflects on losing his dad when he was 25 and the conversations they had towards the end. Todd shares some personal challenges he and his wife are currently dealing with when it comes to the question: 'What is a breadwinner - and what are we really providing'. At the end you'll understand why courage is the most important muscle that makes ReInvention possible - even when you feel like you have no room to fail. If you've ever thought, &quot;I can't change - everyone depends on me,&quot; this episode is for you.
