Two kids, a stand-up mic and a mission to get men talking.

This week we're joined by comedian, dad of two and Director of The Next Step Australia, Justin Sorre. Justin's first kid was easy… so naturally, the second one required a lot more planning.

We chat about how becoming a dad has completely taken over Justin's comedy.

But beneath the laughs, Justin has a serious mission. Through The Next Step Australia, he works in suicide intervention training and mental health support specifically around the challenges men face. We get into the pressure men can feel to just get on with it, why actually talking about your shit can make a huge difference, and why sometimes saying what's going on in your head is the hardest

Visit https://thenextstepaustralia.com.au/ to check out their training.

If you or someone you are supporting, is experiencing urgent or extreme mental health difficulties, please dial ‘000’ if life is in danger or call LIFELINE 13 11 14 for 24/7 crisis support.

In between delivering babies, Lauren the midwife (and also a registered nurse!) takes some time out of her day to talk to Scott and Alex about all things being a midwife. There's discussion about what being a midwife is all about, through to top tips for the birthing suite and that there's still a lot to do.... after baby is born. Also. What did you do with your placenta??

Content warning: The second half of this episode discusses pregnancy loss.

Scott and Alex are taking a little break, but they'll be back next week! In the meantime, enjoy this short interview with Alex's eldest daughter, who you might recognise from the start of every episode.

Scott and Alex are a few weeks in. How's it going? Well....it's an interesting time as both babies are learning new skills, blowing out nappies and not always doing what we expect.
