Strong Dads

28/04/2026

I’ve been doing this work with dads for a while now.

Honest conversations. Challenging topics. Big moments.

A lot of it never makes it online.

But I wanted one place that actually shows what I do and why it matters.

So, with the help of Beau from Advermoore, I finally built it.

If you’re a dad who’s struggling, or you know one, this is for you.

Feel free to share it with someone who might need it.

If you missed it, here’s the Soundcloud edit of my interview on the Wholehearted Dad program with the very kind Tim and Kieth at Local Legends Radio Show…you can copy and paste into an internet browser if you don’t have the app

On Thursday Keith and I spoke with Si Moore about his strong interest in men's health. In particular he explains the programs that he runs supporting new dads called Strong Dads and the Wholehearted Dad program.

ANZAC Day isn’t just about what happened over there.
It’s about what came home.

Men came back carrying things they never spoke about.
So they stayed silent. Got on with it. Provided.

And that silence didn’t end with them.

It shaped our dads.
And in ways we don’t always see… it shapes us too.

But we don’t have to pass it on.

We can still be strong…
and choose connection.

Lest we forget.
And let’s not repeat.

That’s what a Strong Dad is.

This time last week! It’s become a core memory in our household.

Being at the Movember More Than a Provider launch with Prince Harry, politicians like Dan Repacholi MP, then hanging out with John and Lachy Wiggle from The Wiggles, it felt like something bigger is shifting around fatherhood.

Different worlds, same message: dads matter beyond just providing.

It hit home for me. This is exactly why I started Strong Dads.

Because what came through loud and clear is what I see every day, dads are showing up more, but support still isn’t keeping up.

That’s why I’m so excited about the Wholehearted Dad program. It’s about bringing real support into the community, not just talking about it.

Let’s keep growing strong together! 🙌

School holidays are over.

Genuinely… I love that time with my family.
More laughs, more chaos, a bit less structure, and some pretty special memories last week.

But there’s something about this week too…

Getting back into routine.
Finding a bit of rhythm again.

And with that, the pressure can creep back in.

Work. Family. Being present. Trying to get it right as a dad.

I can feel it already and I reckon a lot of other dads can too.

We love our families. That’s not the question.

It’s just that sometimes we carry a lot, quietly, while trying to show up well for everyone else.

That’s a big part of why I started Strong Dads.

Not to fix dads, just to make sure we’re not doing it all on our own.

New week. Back into it.

Anyone else feeling that shift today?

And if it’s feeling like a lot, you’re always welcome to reach out

Had 19 people check out my website yesterday after my last post.

Appreciate the interest, it tells me this conversation is landing.

It also made me realise something…

A lot of dads are curious about support, but don’t always know what that actually looks like.

So here it is, simple:

I’m currently working with a small number of dads 1:1.

No pressure. No judgement.
Just real conversations and practical support through the challenges of fatherhood.

If you’ve been feeling the weight of it, you don’t have to do it alone.
