JAMIE & NICK LAING: DAD TOLD ME THIS ONE THING THAT CHANGED MY VIEW ON FATHERHOOD

JAMIE & NICK LAING: DAD TOLD ME THIS ONE THING THAT CHANGED MY VIEW ON FATHERHOOD

If you haven’t already heard… I’m going to be a dad! Becoming a parent is a topic I’ve discussed on the podcast before, but now it’s really happening, we thought we’d do a bit more of a personal episode of the show this week, so I sat down with my producer, Jemima, to talk about how I’m really feeling about becoming a dad.


This is a really personal episode because I also invite my own dad, Nick Laing, onto the pod - his first ever appearance - to ask for advice and reflect on our relationship.


We cover:

•⁠ ⁠Navigating my anxiety about becoming a father

•⁠ ⁠Dad talks about me being a nightmare child

•⁠ ⁠How I became more present with family after my early 20s

•⁠ ⁠Making the most of our time before the baby arrives and life changes forever!

•⁠ ⁠The type of dad I aspire to be

I found this conversation deeply moving: having the opportunity to open up with my dad, hear his advice and perspective was so comforting. I am so blessed to have a dad like mine, and it was a reminder to cherish time with the people you love.
