Today I'm joined on the podcast by father of 2 and expert in child gross motor development, Dr. J.T Doscher. Had an absolute blast chatting to J.T around all things infant motor development and milestones. J.T has a wealth of knowledge in this field and it was great to go through some common questions, myths and just general activities that you can be doing in the early days, months and years to ensure you're setting your little one up for the best! This will definitely be the first on many chats between J.T and I on the podcast and I can't wait for the next one!

This week on of podcast I had the privilege of chatting to father of 3, Matt Mcconnell. Matt tells the story of his daughter Wren who tragically lost her life just 8 days after birth, Matt's story is absolutely gut wrenching however his openness and vulnerability is something I have so much admiration for. After the loss of Wren, Matt selflessly created a space for dad to seek support and help through the struggles that can be so overwhelming when dealing with something that is often not openly spoken about, that being the loss of a child. Matt's work with Love From Dad and Red Nose has created a space for dads to connect with other fathers that have experienced loss to gain support and most importantly know they're not alone. As emotional as this conversation was, the way in which Matt has dedicated himself to helping others in the same situation speaks volumes of him as a person.

Find Matt on socials @love.from.dad or online at https://www.lovefromdad.com.au/

Today I'm joined for a very special camping edition of the podcast with one of my very good mates and legendary dad, Jack Glover. Jack and I have been mates for over 4 years now and have been able to watch our girls grow up together and become great friends. We both met after being dragged along to our partners mum's group and clicked immediately. Was great to take some time out of our busy weekend to have a beer round the fire and chat fatherhood!

In today's episode I catch up on a huge few weeks for my little family, in particular my youngest daughter. Last week we had a pretty rough week with Summer being in and out of hospital. Long story short we came out all good! However we did have to make some changes to our life based on being told Summer has Reactive Airways Disease (basically childhood Asthma). I run through our experience with this in hopes it may help other parents who maybe experiencing the same things!

Today I'm joined on the podcast by one of my good mates and new dad, Brayden Hoffman. Hoffy is 8 months into his fatherhood journey and it was great hearing his experiences so far, from birth to all the little dad wins and loses along the way. Honestly love doing these chats with my mates, fatherhood is always topic of discussion but rarely do we actually sit down and talk all the way through it!
