89 – Meet the dads! A conversation about fatherhood with Jesse and Mike

This week on Boob to Food the podcast, we’re celebrating Father’s Day with a very special episode. We’ve turned the tables and invited our husbands, Jesse and Mike, to share their experiences of fatherhood. As the dads behind the scenes of Boob to Food, they’ve been our rock through the highs and lows of parenting, and now it’s their turn to take the mic (yay! says Mike… do I have to? says Jesse).

In this candid conversation, Jesse and Mike open up about what it means to be a father in today’s world. From the early days of navigating newborn chaos to the joys and challenges of raising young children, they reflect on their personal journeys into fatherhood. We delve into the expectations versus reality of being a dad, the pressures men face, and how they find their own balance between work, parenting, and maintaining their relationships with their lovely wives.

In this podcast we chat about:

  • How we met (and the boys philosophy on how to attract a partner!)
  • What it was like finding out they were going to be dads for the first time (can you guess which couple was in the middle of a fight?)
  • How the expectations of fatherhood compared to reality and the challenges they have faced
  • Managing work/life balance and how to do this
  • What support they need or already have, and what it is like being married to the working ladies of Boob to Food
  • Whether they agree with our philsophies on nutrition and social media
  • What Father’s Day means to them and how they like to spend the day
  • Advice for new or soon-to-be dads
  • … and so much more!

Today’s episode was brought to you by Undivided Food Co. Undivided Food Co make a range of organic broth and pantry staples (including mayos and sauces) which we absolutely love, and they contain no nasties like preservatives, gluten, refined sugar or seed oils. They created them so that it’s easier to make good tasty, nutritious food, when you’re busy. We are big fans and it is impossible to pick a favourite… but if we had to, their new Joppi mayo would be heading to the top of the list!
