This latest episode of my podcast about embracing imperfection is all about the journey of self-acceptance in fatherhood. I am really excited to be having a conversation with Mark Gee, who is a counsellor, a mental health first aid instructor, a Rites of Passage leader and an online Circle Work Facilitator. He is a father and supports other fathers through his 6 week online Dad's Journey Workshops.
In this conversation Mark shares his journey from tradesman to men's mental health specialist and counsellor. He shares how he has supported himself and other fathers to be more vulnerable and self-connected and to move from being isolated in parenting and instead find new powerful ways to role model what it is to be a man supporting himself and his family. Mark shares some of the most common struggles for fathers and describes some way that fathers can learn self-compassion, self-acceptance, presence and repair after rupture. We talk about unconditional love and cultivating resilience. Mark shares the relief and power that comes from connecting with other fathers in groups, to share and be vulnerable together.
To learn more about Mark's work or to sign up for his next 6 week workshop which starts on the 9th October 2025, please visit www.markgee.com.au or follow him on Instragram at markgeewellbeing.
