In this episode of Growing, we’re joined by Jason from @raising_fathers - father of two, coach, and champion of conscious fatherhood, for a practical conversation about how Dads can show up for their partners during matrescence.
If you’ve ever wondered how to better support your partner through the rollercoaster of early motherhood, this episode is your guide.
Whether you’re preparing to become a parent, in the thick of the fourth trimester, or just want to do things differently Jason brings practicality and gentle wisdom to this chat.
We talk about:
What matrescence actually is (and why it matters for fathers too)
How Dads can support and emotionally attune to their partners through identity shifts
Dads identity shifts and how they experience this monumental change too
Tips for keeping connection and communication alive amidst sleepless nights
Lots of practical go to’s for Mums and Dads entering and working through the huge transition that is parenthood - together as a team
This is one of those episodes that we think every new Dad (and Mum!) should hear. Share it with your partner, your mate who’s expecting, or your parenting group.
