89 - Meet the dads! A conversation about fatherhood with Jesse and Mike

Episode 89

Tuesday, August 27, 2024 • Duration 56:43

This week on Boob to Food the podcast, we’re celebrating Father’s Day with a very special episode. We’ve turned the tables and invited our husbands, Jesse and Mike, to share their experiences of fatherhood. As the dads behind the scenes of Boob to Food, they’ve been our rock through the highs and lows of parenting, and now it's their turn to take the mic (yay! says Mike... do I have to? says Jesse).

In this candid conversation, Jesse and Mike open up about what it means to be a father in today’s world. From the early days of navigating newborn chaos to the joys and challenges of raising young children, they reflect on their personal journeys into fatherhood. We delve into the expectations versus reality of being a dad, the pressures men face, and how they find their own balance between work, parenting, and maintaining their relationships with their lovely wives.

In this podcast we chat about:

How we met (and the boys philosophy on how to attract a partner!)
What it was like finding out they were going to be dads for the first time (can you guess which couple was in the middle of a fight?)
How the expectations of fatherhood compared to reality and the challenges they have faced
Managing work/life balance and how to do this
What support they need or already have, and what it is like being married to the working ladies of Boob to Food
Whether they agree with our philsophies on nutrition and social media
What Father’s Day means to them and how they like to spend the day
Advice for new or soon-to-be dads
… and so much more!

Today’s episode was brought to you by Myo Munchee. Our diet - and in many ways our health - have changed drastically over time. Ancestrally, we were chewing on dried meats, nuts, seeds, etc. which is the ideal exercise for the lips, face, and jaws. The natural growth forces generated from correct chewing make a big contribution to growing faces and maintaining ideal oral function for life. In the last hundred years, the western industrialised lifestyle—with its soft foods, reduced nutritional diversity, and rapidly decreasing range of exercise— has essentially removed natural cues for healthy oral development. Tongue and jaw movements are also being impacted by poor oral habits including processed soft baby food, squeezy packs, pacifiers/dummies, and sippy cups. The Myo Munchee is chewing device that can provide necessary chewing exercise enhancing muscle strength, tone and coordination for better oral posture. It promotes nasal breathing and reinforces correct swallow patterns. Chewing a Munchee also produces A LOT of saliva. , helping to cleanse the oral cavity, promoting better oral hygiene.
