Perelel Lives – Details, episodes & analysis

Today’s episode of Perelel Lives is a special dad edition in honor of Father’s Day. Our guest is none other than Miles Garber, host and founder of Call Me Dada, a media platform and podcast that aims to educate, inspire, and start a conversation about modern fatherhood. Miles is a longtime favorite of ours over here at Perelel because of his vulnerability and mission of helping other dads feeling alienated or afraid in the parenthood journey. He’s a dad to his daughter, Maxime, and is currently writing his soon-to-debut book, Call Me Dada, about his own story and realizations. He also offers one-on-one coaching for other dads and dads-to-be. We talk about becoming a parent from a dad's POV, how the male brain changes in fatherhood, and how we can all better support our partners and dads. It’s an insightful conversation that we’re sure you’re going to love. 

Today's guest is Stephanie Kramer. She is the Chief Human Resources Officer at L’Oréal and a mom of two. And an author of the new book, Carry Strong. She had her first son, William, while working at Chanel, Inc. and her second, James, at Kiehl’s. When looking at her journey, she wanted to create a resource for other women navigating their careers while also starting families. The book includes original resources, expert advice and real-life stories from professional athletes, CEOs, and hundreds of amazing mothers across the country who outline the answers to some of the most surprising, challenging, and nuanced questions that arrive about pregnancy and work. Today we discuss Stephanie's experience and how it shaped the book. And we answer some of your most pressing questions about pregnancy and work.
