  • ROUNDTABLE: Cracking the Modern Dad Code with Dr Golly
    Join host Davina Smith, Paediatrician Dr Golly, and Clinical Psychologist at the Gidget Foundation Matt Aquilina as they unpack the pressure men feel to be the “fixer,” how fatherhood can stir up old wounds, and why many dads feel emotionally sidelined just when they’re needed most. But they also go deeper, into the part of parenting no one talks about at the baby shower: how intimacy between partners often shifts after birth. Gidget Foundation Australia has created a series of books called ‘Bunny Books’ to reach out to those that may be suffering. Available through booktopia here. Need support?

  • When Fatherhood Unearths Old Wounds: Frank’s Story
    For Frank, becoming a dad wasn’t just life-changing, it was life-defining. But instead of joy, early fatherhood brought his past crashing to the surface. In this raw and revealing episode, Frank shares how buried trauma and the fear of vulnerability led him down a path of addiction, and how hitting rock bottom forced him to make the most difficult choice of his life: keep running or fight for his sons. Hosted by Davina Smith, this powerful conversation peels back the layers of what it means to be a father carrying unspoken pain, and how healing often starts with speaking up.
