Podcast 015 | How Do Men Transition To FATHERHOOD?

A conversation with Tony Tow. The first of a series of speaking with new fathers about their initiation into fatherhood. Statistics show that going from Man to Father is not an easy ride, and while women get the bulk of prenatal, birth and postnatal attention, new fathers are pretty much left on the sideline without much support or guidance. New fathers often return to work quickly after the birth and maintain a ‘normal’ life whilst everything around them has been turned upside down. This series is my intention to offer more awareness enquiry about how men are doing in the early weeks, months and years of fatherhood. In this episode, I speak with Tony Tow from www.Mantribe.com.au - I had the pleasure of supporting Tony and his wife, Jess Osie as their Doula for the two births of their babies.
