Dan and Rosie look at common challenges like disciplining each others children and navigating boundaries. They finish by talking about unexpected joys and working alongside their ex-partners new relationships and families.
About our guests:
Dan is a 34-year-old Dad from Hampshire, and co-parent to his beautiful eight-year-old daughter Evie. Evie’s mum and Dan separated just over five years ago when she was two and have since been navigating the ups and downs of a co-parenting life which as we know can be tough. Dan started to share their journey together on social media in an honest, no-frills and candid way, to show other co-parents who are struggling with parental separation that they aren’t alone. He now has a substantial online following and is known as The Breaking Dad.
Rosie is the loving mother to Tilly, 9, and Liza, 5. After meeting Dan, they began the rewarding but sometimes challenging journey of blending their families and now expect a baby girl together later this year.
