  • Steven Kennedy on Birth Trauma for Baby and the Dad Nobody Prepared

    Steven Kennedy on Birth Trauma for Baby and the Dad Nobody Prepared
    2026/10/12
    The first man who came and talked ⚠️ Content advisory: this episode discusses grief & loss and mental health & wellbeing, which some listeners may find distressing. If you need support, you're not alone. Help is available:• Lifeline (24/7 crisis support): 13 11 14 · lifeline.org.au• GriefLine: 1300 845 745 · griefline.org.au Steven's son Rory was born via emergency caesarean with an Apgar of 1, requiring resuscitation. Eight months later, Steven had a panic attack on a commuter train while reading about birth trauma, unaware he was experiencing postnatal depression himself. The breakdown triggered a deeper reckoning: he'd given his father CPR at 17 when his father suffered cardiac arrest; now, witnessing oxygen deprivation again, the trauma resurfaced. Steven sought help from a birth trauma specialist who told him something that changed his direction: she'd never spoken to a man about birth before. That admission became his mission. He spent six months researching 96 academic papers on men's role in birth, then founded Prepared Dads to teach expectant and new fathers what nobody had taught him: how to stay calm in the room, recognise their partner's needs, manage their own distress, and step into early fatherhood with intention. His son is now eight and thriving. Steven continues therapy and now runs support groups for bereaved dads, recognising that men have nowhere to process stillbirth, miscarriage, or perinatal loss. Steven Kennedy is the founder and CEO of Prepared Dads, an organisation equipping men with knowledge and skills for the perinatal period. 🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 Welcome and content warning03:33 The traumatic birth: Apgar of 105:39 The unhealed wound: his father's death07:43 Breakdown on the commuter train09:01 Discovering postnatal depression in men14:33 Fear, pain and tension: why birth goes wrong20:34 Researching men's role: six months of papers28:10 Men as the weakest link in the birth room39:40 Nurturing masculinity and hormonal change55:46 Early fatherhood: paddling, not waves1:07:29 Prepared Dads: what the course offers1:30:05 Closing and call to action 🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode. 📌 RESOURCES MENTIONED:PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia): https://www.panda.org.auPrepared Dads: https://www.prepareddad.org.auBereaved Dads Brotherhood: https://www.prepareddad.org.auLifeline Australia: https://www.lifeline.org.au ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT KINTSUGI HEROES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Welcome.

  • Si Moore: The IVF Support Gap No One Talks About For Dads

    Si Moore: The IVF Support Gap No One Talks About For Dads
    2026/10/07
    I had to love myself ⚠️ Content advisory: this episode discusses grief & loss and mental health & wellbeing, which some listeners may find distressing. If you need support, you're not alone. Help is available:• Lifeline (24/7 crisis support): 13 11 14 · lifeline.org.au• GriefLine: 1300 845 745 · griefline.org.au Si Moore spent his twenties searching for meaning through self-help and education, but burnout and a six-year relationship ending via email cracked him open. He rebuilt through reading, therapy, and deep self-reflection. When he and his wife pursued IVF, they discovered a brutal gap: there was support for her, nothing for him. After losing twins at nine weeks, dealing with family estrangement over a wedding exclusion, starting nursing school, buying a house, and COVID all at once, Si hit a breaking point. A panic attack during pathophysiology class, which he recognised because he understood the science, forced him to stop running from grief and start building something. He founded Strong Dads to offer fathers the one-on-one, holistic support he never found: a space to do the hard work of loving themselves so they can show up for their kids. His parents are now asking him for advice. He has three dads on the books and a goal of twenty. Si Moore is a registered nurse, father, and founder of Strong Dads Geelong, a holistic support program for fathers navigating identity, grief, and emotional development. After losing twins during IVF, a family estrangement, and a panic attack that came during his nursing studies, he left hospital crisis work to build upstream preventative support for men who have no other place to turn. In this Kintsugi Heroes conversation with John Milham, Si shares the story behind the moments below. 🎙️ IN THIS CONVERSATION:• Men have no institutional support during IVF or perinatal loss, even as they carry grief and stress alongside their partners; this gap is not accidental, it is a systems failure Si is now filling one-on-one. 🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 This is a love story02:57 Finding meaning at 1708:38 Environmental science, burnout, and a breakup14:59 The gap: no support for men in IVF19:30 The wedding that fractured everything22:16 The panic attack that broke him open28:00 Building Strong Dads from the rubble35:55 The tipping points that make men ready48:35 What fathering looks like in practice51:38 20 dads: the goal spoken aloud54:38 Vulnerability is not a group sport59:22 How to find Si and do the work 🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT KINTSUGI HEROES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Welcome.
