    The Realities of Fatherhood: Struggles, Strength, and Growth

    Fatherhood is an incredible journey, but it can drain you. If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or questioning if you're enough, you're not alone. My boys and partner are my world, but it hasn’t always been easy. In 2020, after my youngest was born, I felt lost and out of control. I was overwhelmed by worthlessness and the weight of my own expectations. One day, I hit rock bottom and admitted, “I can’t cope, I don’t want to be alive anymore!” That moment changed everything. It lifted the weight and gave me the strength to fight back. Fatherhood gave me a major reality check.

    Breaking the Silence: Understanding Postnatal Depression in Fathers

    In this episode we delve into a critical and often overlooked topic: Postnatal Depression (PND) in fathers. Join me as I explore the realities of PND, a condition commonly associated with mothers but one that affects dads too, often catching them off guard. Here I shed light on the pressures and mental health challenges new fathers face. I highlight the importance of recognising the signs of PND, the impact it can have on the family, and the necessity of seeking support. This episode offers valuable insights for both dads and mums, emphasising the need for open conversations and mutual support in navigating the complex emotions of parenthood. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how PND manifests in fathers, the barriers to seeking help, and practical advice on supporting each other through this challenging phase.
