In this poignant episode, we explore the journey of Ameya, an HR leader who boldly left his thriving corporate career to become the primary caregiver for his newborn daughter, Naomi. His story challenges societal stereotypes about fathers' capabilities, as highlighted by a taxi driver's casual remark during a ride with his daughter.
Raised by a military father and an academic mother, Ameya's background shaped his approach to balancing career and parenting. The episode delves into his emotional transformation into fatherhood during the pandemic, showcasing the unique bond he developed with Naomi.
Ameya's decision to become a stay-at-home dad brought both joys and challenges. He grappled with losing his professional identity, faced societal judgments, and navigated financial realities.
