The power of play and living without clutter with Sean Brown

This week, Jenny and Dayna are hanging out with a top bloke and legend of a dad, Sean Brown. Sean’s the chippie that has put Dayna’s home back together after various floods and burst pipes, but you may also recognize him as the fix-it, make-it-better builder extraordinaire from the TV show, Sort Your Life Out NZ. Sean inspires Dayna and Jenny with the sense of fun and playfulness he brings to his dadding role, and in this gorgeous episode, we hear more about how he strives to be a ‘present’ dad and create a fun homelife for his girls – while also acknowledging that he won’t get this parenting gig right all the time. Jenny and Dayna take the opportunity to pick the brain of someone who, through his TV role, has witnessed households drowning in clutter and ‘stuff’ – and has come to the rescue with a bunch of great hacks for home storage and harmonious family spaces. We also chat about the beauty of simple parenting and the power that Sean has found in sharing the journey of dadding with other blokes like himself.  Parents We’ve Met is brought to you by Parenting Place – a charity with a heart for New Zealand families.
