Episode 4

In this episode I interview Sam Johnson, someone I’ve had the honour of growing up around in my neighbourhood. We discuss what it’s like becoming a father, challenges of fatherhood, the impact of our own trauma and how it influences our parenting. This is a very special and healing conversation for me. Hope you enjoy it.
