If you haven’t already heard… I’m going to be a dad! Becoming a parent is a topic I’ve discussed on the podcast before, but now it’s really happening, we thought we’d do a bit more of a personal episode of the show this week, so I sat down with my producer, Jemima, to talk about how I’m really feeling about becoming a dad. This is a really personal episode because I also invite my own dad, Nick Laing, onto the pod - his first ever appearance - to ask for advice and reflect on our relationship. We cover: • Navigating my anxiety about becoming a father • Dad talks about me being a nightmare child • How I became more present with family after my early 20s • Making the most of our time before the baby arrives and life changes forever! • The type of dad I aspire to be I found this conversation deeply moving: having the opportunity to open up with my dad, hear his advice and perspective was so comforting. I am so blessed to have a dad like mine, and it was a reminder to cherish time with the people you love.
