Becoming a parent can be an incredibly isolating experience, not just for mums, but for dads too. And yet, dads are often left out of the perinatal conversation. In this episode of Honey, We Need to Chat, Amy and Blair sit down with Tom and Kate Docking, founders of Dad’s Group and Man with a Pram, to explore why fatherhood support is a missing piece in family wellbeing, and how building community changes everything.

What we cover:

• The surprising origins of Man with a Pram and how it’s grown into a global movement.

• Why isolation hits dads just as hard as mums, and what helps.

• The hidden impact of birth trauma and vicarious trauma on fathers.

• How supporting dads strengthens the whole family.

• Real talk about marriage, communication, and building a village that lasts.

Whether you’re a new parent, a partner, or someone passionate about community, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about connection, fatherhood, and family support.
