Parenthood

No matter how much you prepare, nothing quite compares to the moment you become a parent.

In this Father's Day episode, we'll explore Adam's journey into fatherhood—the excitement, uncertainty, identity shift and the unexpected realities of those first few months. We'll also discuss his podcast *The Dads and the Docs*, why honest conversations between dads matter, and what he's learnt since welcoming his daughter.

The conversation is designed to reassure new and expecting parents that there's no perfect way to become a dad, only your own.

A big thank you to our episode sponsor RedBalloon.

This week I’m joined by the beyond hilarious brothers Luke & Scott. Scott is married to Marcus and has twins. In this chat we cover off on Scott’s surrogacy journey, life with twins, whether mental load inequality exists with same sex couples and of course so many random tangents that will make you laugh out loud.

Have you ever had a parenting moment that completely shook you?

On our recent family holiday to Greece, we had one that I'll never forget. It reminded me just how quickly things can change around water—and why *"almost ready"* isn't the same as *"ready."*

In this week's solo episode, I'm sharing what happened, the lessons we learnt, and the water safety reminders every parent needs to hear.
