#31 Fatherhood: Expectations vs. reality | Chat with Simon Allen-Clarke
What does fatherhood really look like... versus the picture he has in his head pre-kids?! (Spoiler alert: It's a bit different!)
On this episode of the Equestrian Mums Club podcast, Sophie's flying solo to have a chat with her co-host - Katie's - husband and long-suffering "horse widow", Simon!
Listen in to this episode to hear more about:
The infamous "meet cute" for he and Katie... with an unlikely location!
How he (a self-confessed non-equestrian) really feels about having horses in his back garden
His take on their late pregnancy news
How he is navigating fatherhood, in the midst of his own grief
His thoughts on his Katie's transition to motherhood
The (unusual!) phrase he keeps in mind, to remember to make the best of every situation
It's rare we get the non-horsey side of the coin on this podcast... so take a seat and get ready to listen along to the real, authentic story of someone "equestrian by association"!
Please note: Some of the topics we discuss in this episode some listeners may find challenging - including grief and loss of a parent. We advise listener discretion.
