Too Much to Ask?
When you're a dad of a child with a disability, asking for support at work can feel like walking a tightrope.
In this episode, I share a personal story and perspectives about disclosing my family's needs in the workplace and how one employer said all the right things… until it got inconvenient.
We’ll talk about:
The silent stigma dads face in the workplace
What happens when “supportive” is just surface-level
The emotional cost of hiding what's really going on
The very real legal protections you have as a carer under Australian law
And practical advice for other dads navigating work, disclosure, and advocacy
This one is for the dads quietly carrying the load, and wondering if telling the truth will cost them their job.
