In this heartfelt episode of Made Possible by Parenthood, we sit down with former rugby player turned coach, Sam Smith, to explore the unexpected gifts that arise when relationships evolve and family structures shift. Sam shares his personal journey of ending a romantic partnership, co-parenting his two young children, and creating new ways to foster love, joy, and connection with his former partner and their new relationships.

Through candid conversation, we dive into the challenges of breaking free from societal narratives about what family “should” look like and discover the freedom that comes with living intentionally. Sam’s story reveals how breakdowns can open doors to growth, play, and deeper connection—not just with others, but with ourselves.

Join us as we explore how to embrace change with openness, take responsibility for our experiences, and create family systems rooted in love, respect, and joy. Whether you’re navigating a relationship transition or simply seeking inspiration for your parenthood journey, this episode offers valuable insights on the beauty that can emerge when we shift our perspectives on relationships and family life.
