Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash28 Kesä

#238 Jackson Wray: The Dad Every Parent Can Learn From

We've had plenty of parenting experts on the podcast lately and while we've loved every bit of advice they've shared, today's guest brings something just as valuable.

Jackson Wray isn't a doctor or parenting guru. But he's an expert in showing up every day for his daughter, Frankie.

Frankie is four years old and lives with severe cerebral palsy, blindness and epilepsy. While many might expect Jackson's story to be one of heartbreak, it's actually one filled with love, gratitude and positivity.

Together with his wife Alex, Jackson shares glimpses into their family's life, and it's impossible not to be inspired by Frankie's determination and joy. She continues to prove that her diagnosis doesn't define what's possible.

This conversation is full of perspective, hope and a reminder of what really matters in parenting. We hope you love it as much as we did.

It's one that will stay with you long after it ends.

If you'd like to follow Jackson, Alex & Frankie's story you can do so here.
