Nic Haldezos (@nic_haldezos) on Loving Your Partner Unconditionally, Two Under Two, Male Postpartum Depression, and Laughing Through the Chaos

Shut the front door, we've got a Dad!!! As I say in the introduction, something I've wanted from the beginning of this podcast is for this to be a space for parents of all genders. There are a lot of resources out there for mums and femme-identifying parents, and I think dads and masc-presenting parents can get a bit lost in the chaos. So I am so grateful that the wonderful Nic Haldezos (@nic_haldezos @nuggetcreative) agreed to be our first pod dad! Not only that, but he came on and literally told me "no questions are off-limits, I'm an open book" which is so generous and so kind. Nic is a guy who lives his life as a dad first and everything else second, and he and his fiancee (@cassidyskelton) do everything they can to live their lives intentionally to be the best parents they can be. I actually adored listening to Nic's perspective, and about how he and Cass stay a solid team in amongst the chaos of two under two. The way he talks about Cass will make you melt!

Why Do You Parent Like That is a parenting podcast with one set of questions and one million ways to parent. Join host (and ya new bestie!) Abbey Harrison as she interviews a new parent each week and asks them the same five questions. The goal is to hear how wildly different answers to the same questions are depending on who is answering them. As a parent it's easy to feel like everyone is parenting the same way except for you, we're here to show you that that's not true! This pod is all about celebrating and learning from alllll kinds of parenting. We are stoked to have you here!
