#132 - Rory Williams - Redefining Strength for Modern Dads

"“So many guys look in the mirror and don’t recognise themselves anymore. Step one is taking back your physicality.”

In this energising and brutally honest episode, we sit down with Rory Williams (@rory_strongdad)— fitness coach, father of two, and creator of the “Strong Dad” movement—to explore what it really means to be a modern father. Rory opens up about the pressures dads face today: being present, being providers, and being strong—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

We discuss the silent struggles of fatherhood: lack of support, loneliness, and society’s limited celebration of committed dads. Rory shares practical tools for reclaiming your physicality and identity through strength training, early-morning routines, and daily habits—without sacrificing your role as a present, engaged parent.

He also reveals how he grew his social media presence from 7k to over 80k in under a year by speaking directly to modern fathers with raw honesty and clean storytelling. If you’re a dad who’s ever felt lost, exhausted, or just wants to get back on track—physically or mentally—this episode offers powerful motivation, useful strategies, and a reminder that you're not alone.

Honestly Unbalanced
Honest and open conversations with people that have spent their lives, trying to makes yours better.
The surface level of the wellness world is often a high gloss, picture perfect representation of balanced living. Adam and Holly Husler dig under that shiny surface and discover that the balanced-state is often a fleeting moment, with the rest of life being an ever-changing obstacle course of; struggles, opportunities, sweat and hard work.

Though honest conversations, we track our guests' unique paths to success, how they navigate changing tides and the continuous search for their own version of happiness.
