I'm a working father too — that's why this works.
I'm Dr. Sivasakthi Balan. I've spent more than two decades teaching, researching, and quietly coaching men who looked successful from the outside but felt empty on the inside. I'm one of them. The Abundance Tree Model isn't theory — it's the system I rebuilt my own life with.
My story
Years ago, I was the man chasing every promotion. I earned. I provided. I told myself this was love. Then one night a family member ended up in a hospital bed, and I realised I'd missed years of small moments while being busy "winning". I came home and couldn't sleep for weeks.
I'm an academic by training. I tried to read my way out of it — psychology, spirituality, research, ancient wisdom, modern coaching. Most of it helped a little. None of it changed me. The problem wasn't information. The problem was identity.
So I built something I could live, every day, even on the hard days — even when work took me 370 kilometres away from my family. That system is the Abundance Tree Model. Root, branches, leaves. Inside, relationships, flow. Practised daily. Small. Doable. Real.
Today I teach it to other working fathers. Some join the 9 PM Circle for fifteen minutes a night. Some go all the way to Platinum. All of them are doing the same quiet, brave work: choosing to be a different kind of man.
I don't teach what I haven't lived. Every tool I give you, I use every day.
