    EP 03 – Pregnancy from the Dad’s Side

    In this episode, I share a raw and honest look at what pregnancy was like for me — not physically, but mentally and emotionally. While Lisa was carrying our beautiful son Ollie, I was carrying the crushing weight of becoming a provider… and it nearly broke me. I talk about the depression I went through, the sleepless nights filled with fear and overthinking, and the pressure to suddenly “have it all together” after a life filled with setbacks and mistakes. This episode is for the dads who smile on the outside but are struggling on the inside. If you’ve ever felt the fear of not being ready, the guilt of not having more to give, or the pressure to be everything for your family — you're not alone. This one's for you. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1NMwRGHsrLfwj7N5YwUkIB?si=a1f361b59b314017 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@builtforthispodcast Website & Dads Community: https://built-for-this-podcast.com/

    EP 0: Intro - Built For This Podcast

    Becoming a dad changed everything — but not in the way I expected. After 3.5 years of trying to fall pregnant and finally going through IVF, I realised how little support there is for fathers during pregnancy, birth, and those wild first months. In this first episode, I share the story behind this podcast: why I created it, who it’s for, and what you can expect. If you're a dad trying to be the best man you can be — for your family, your partner, and yourself — this space was made for you. 🔗 Everything you need to know can be found here: https://built-for-this-podcast.com/ #BuiltForThis #DadPodcast
