This week we sit down with Ash Wicks, co-host of the hugely popular Two Doting Dads podcast. Ash has built a dedicated following by sharing the unfiltered reality of modern parenting – the sleepless nights, milestone moments, and everything that happens between.

Between the laughs, Ash opens up about his experience with postnatal depression, while I share something I've kept private until now – how an early miscarriage affected me and ultimately drove my desire to have this conversation with Ash today. You'll notice I'm more jumpy than usual, nervously laughing, qualifying my words before I've even said them and struggling to get my words out from start to finish – this is something that stress does to me often, but it felt important to leave it as it was.

Whether you're navigating parenthood yourself or have faced similar challenges, I hope this conversation adds something valuable to your day.

Ash is above all else a bloody fantastic bloke willing to take himself to very vulnerable places if it might help someone listening who might be going through something similar. 

Hopefully it's a good listen despite my nerves getting the better of me - I really enjoyed it.
