Let me introduce the The Good Enough Dad podcast series. Not only does it make for a perfect listening companion during those hectic parenting moments, but it’s also got the sparkle of authenticity that only real stories can bring.
Parental paths are as diverse as the families they build, and none knows this better than Sean Szeps and his husband Josh. As they embarked on their fatherhood journey through surrogacy, these dads discovered the beauty of creating their own rule book for raising twins. Now, Sean is sitting down with the renowned Maggie Dent, Australia’s own “Queen of Common Sense”, to share the ups and downs that make his family’s story unique.
In the latest episode of The Good Enough Dad, Sean opens up about the challenges of postnatal depression and the tests that are currently letting dads down. But it’s not all serious – there’s also a bit of laughter as he recounts a misadventure with cough medicine on a flight. Who knew parenting could be this exhilarating?
