ROUNDTABLE: Cracking the Modern Dad Code with Dr Golly
Join host Davina Smith, Paediatrician Dr Golly, and Registered 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.
