JAMIE & NICK LAING: DAD TOLD ME THIS ONE THING THAT CHANGED MY VIEW ON FATHERHOOD

About this episode

<p>If you haven’t already heard… I’m going to be a dad! Becoming a parent is a topic I’ve discussed on the podcast before, but now it’s really happening, we thought we’d do a bit more of a personal episode of the show this week, so I sat down with my producer, Jemima, to talk about how I’m really feeling about becoming a dad.</p><br><p>This is a really personal episode because I also invite my own dad, Nick Laing, onto the pod - his first ever appearance - to ask for advice and reflect on our relationship.</p><br><p>We cover:</p><p>•⁠&nbsp;⁠Navigating my anxiety about becoming a father</p><p>•⁠&nbsp;⁠Dad talks about me being a nightmare child</p><p>•⁠&nbsp;⁠How I became more present with family after my early 20s</p><p>•⁠&nbsp;⁠Making the most of our time before the baby arrives and life changes forever!</p><p>•⁠&nbsp;⁠The type of dad I aspire to be</p><p>I found this conversation deeply moving: having the opportunity to open up with my dad, hear his advice and perspective was so comforting. I am so blessed to have a dad like mine, and it was a reminder to cherish time with the people you love.</p><br><p>You can also follow us</p><p>Instagram - www.instagram.com/greatcompanypodcast</p><p>TikTok - www.tiktok.com/@greatcompanypodcast</p><p>And if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk</p><br><p>--</p><p>THE CREDITS</p><p>Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone</p><p>Producer: Helen Burke</p><p>Video: Jake Ji &amp; Ryley Kirby</p><p>Audio: Rafi Amsili</p><p>Social Media: Laura Coughlan</p><br><p>Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
