More Than Macros Ep 26: Happy First Father's Day with Ben, Jack and Chris

1 hour 49 minutes

A very sentimental podcast this week as a number of our Community prepare for their first Father's Day!
Support comes in all forms and types, but having a few close friends all in exactly the same boat at the same time can definitely make the first few weeks of Fatherhood much less daunting.

From Whatsapp group to podcast, on this episode of More Than Macros, we are joined by Chris Ackland (Scarlett, 8 weeks), Alexis Fresta (Raffy, 7 weeks), Jack Gardner (Albie, 6 weeks) who alongside Ben (Mattea, 4 weeks), chat through some of the revelations and challenges that can come when learning to adjust to the new role and new family member.

But this is no ordinary podcast.

Based in Melbourne and still under lockdown, this also presents the first opportunity to enjoy a celebratory drink to Fatherhood for the boys!

Covering:
- The most practical and impractical purchases made in preparation for the new additions
- Adjusting to the new sleeping patterns and development of new routines
- Expectations pre baby Vs the reality of post baby life
- Perspective changes since becoming a parent
- Reflecting on the feelings of empathy towards our own parents
- The philosophical side of Fatherhood: What does it means to be a dad?
- The pro's and con's of beginning Fatherhood in lockdown

So, if you're a new dad, an expecting dad, or even just curious about the changes parenthood can have, grab yourself a drink, sit back and enjoy!
