The "Dads United Podcast" brings together three lifelong mates—Rob, John, and Dave—who, after years of playing soccer together at their local club, have reunited to share their experiences and insights on navigating the unique challenges of life as fathers. Each of the hosts brings a distinct perspective to the table, reflecting the diverse stages of fatherhood they find themselves in.
Rob, a father of two boys aged 9 and 14, contributes his wisdom gained from parenting through the different phases of childhood and adolescence. John, on the other hand, is currently immersed in the chaotic joy of raising three boys, all under the age of 5. His experiences offer a real-time glimpse into the early years of fatherhood, with its sleepless nights, tantrums, and endless energy.
Dave, the third member of the trio, has a household filled with three girls—twins aged 8 and a 5-year-old. His perspective brings a unique dynamic to the podcast, exploring the nuances of parenting daughters and the joy that comes with it.
The Dads United Podcast serves as a platform for these mates to candidly discuss the trials and triumphs of fatherhood. Listeners can expect genuine conversations about the highs and lows of parenting, with each host offering practical solutions and insights based on their personal journeys. From navigating the challenges of raising boys to the unique experiences of parenting daughters, the podcast covers a wide range of topics relevant to dads from all walks of life.
Whether you're a seasoned father looking for relatable stories or a new dad seeking guidance, the Dads United Podcast provides a humorous and heartfelt exploration of the joys and complexities of fatherhood, making it a must-listen for dads everywhere.
Return to work, return to airways, return to travel, return to normal....the list goes on and on. Stay positive in your mindset, it's critical to progress.
Some of the post op challenges have been things like Lighting and Sound...how do you overcome these? For me ? Patience, Time , practice and trying different management strategies.
RU OK day was last week, a timely reminder in the current climate that we we all have to look after one another. So walk with me on the banks of the river for this timely podcast.
Thanks for hanging in there, I dropped off the airways for a few weeks.....let me explain.
Been a bit of a wait since last podcast on the recovery journey. Have taken a lot out of last few weeks and own reflections. If you can take anything out of today’s podcast...look after yourself an those around you.
IVC filter removal surgery to support group therapy and rehab. There has been a lot going on in the last week to share.
Getting out and about for the next year is an important part of my strategy for getting through this pandemic. What are yours?
Solid week of rehab and increased sessions has been good. The road to Recovery is going well “ touch wood” feeling the urge to do more needs to be measured.
Seems more and more Sunday night is my time to reflect. Big day and feeling quite spent at the end of another busy but good week.
Nothing beats an open fire to reflect at the end of a weekend. Toasty, I recall the weeks progress.
Sunday afternoon on a very winters day, in this episode I talk about some of my fears, challenges as well as some of the activity I’m looking forward too.
Slower paced than when in hospital or recovery centre. Being at home has its own unique set of challenges in the recovery process.
Whilst being a patient in hospital or rehab seemed challenging, a routine was in place and there was process. Now at home and in a waiting line for services, my understanding for further adjustments is becoming evident.
Back home this week, with so much thanks to my family, amazingly supportive friends & my travel industry family. This first weekend back home has been fuelled by your continued support. So Appreciated!
Thursday was first full day back home, now need to adjust and challenge myself to the everyday. Rehab now is a day program at the hospital & nights spent in my own home with family.
Entering into week 4 things may progress to home based rehab and orientation. A few days of assessment to go, but progress has been a positive.
Quick update on what is coming next. Weekends are slow paced and activity is a lot lower than during the week.
Brief update on the 1st big assessment day with doctors etc. Get my review of what happened and what’s coming next?
Thoughts leading into today’s meetings and assessments, will learn a lot today about where things sit. Join me OUTSIDE for morning stretch, wind , sun and birds for this chat.
Day 5 of the recovery centre, surroundings now familiar, wanting to get clarity around process, timelines and state of health / next steps. Learning to relax a little and execute more patience, but that is not a natural state for me. This is the part in rehab that can get a bit repetitive. So finding my inner patience. Understandably for those with deeper issues it is very much needed.
Finding more about myself and post surgery changes to my general well being. Showering ,physio , speech, examinations etc.
Heavy day of reflection and gravity around this kind of condition. My heart goes out to an industry colleague.
So I ended up doing a Sunday podcast anyway - your responsibility to yourself and your gift of time. Beware about 10 or so yawns by me as I wake up this Sunday. Deep positive topic this morning as I reflect on my 2nd opportunity and life habits / patterns.
Sat 16th May - important day every year for me. And now in the recovery centre with limitations makes it different to what I would usually be doing. Live from my bed in the medical unit, learn where I am at and what my reflections are post brain surgery.
Not the strongest of detail in this one, more a thanks to my listeners to sticking to the journey. Discharge to new medical centre today! So more to come this arvo.
Rob Explores his challenges related to his recent emergency and the every day evolving world of recovery of a brain injury.
I’ve been of the pod grid for a while, 1 of the reasons I discuss live Tonight from my Hospital-bed. Serious-topic but open to any and all who are looking for takeaway 1st hand advice.
