  • COLIN FASSNIDGE: How Fatherhood Changed Me

    We’ve shared so many stories of motherhood, but what about fatherhood? 


    In this episode, we’re hearing a dad’s perspective as we sit down with renowned chef and TV personality Colin Fassnidge. Known for his no-nonsense approach in the kitchen, Colin gets real about how becoming a father to two daughters softened him, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and the gender norms he’s challenged both at home and in his career. 


    It’s a refreshingly honest conversation about parenting, breaking stereotypes, and the unexpected ways fatherhood changes you.


    How Motherhood Changed Me is hosted by journalists Kerrie Turner & Jenna Yates.
