“It’s Irresponsible To Have Kids”: Societal Narrative VS Reality.

In this episode, we challenge the societal narrative that having kids is irresponsible.

Over the past few years, this idea has been heavily promoted by media and public figures, but it's time to debunk it.

I share my personal experience as a father of five, emphasizing the joy and growth that come with parenting.

We discuss the misconceptions about the financial burden of raising children and the importance of balancing finances with the true value of love, guidance, and family time.

Parenting has profoundly enriched my life, and I believe it's the most rewarding role one can have.

If you're passionate about family and love, this is the episode for you.

"Hi Struggling, I'm Dad!" is a podcast dedicated to helping people be the best parents, partners and people they can possibly be.

I'm Grant Berardi, a father of 5 kids, a husband of 15 years, a qualified counsellor and coach with over a decade of experience.

This podcast was made due to my passion for helping others reach their fullest potential in as many aspects of their life as possible.

This podcast embodies this passion but also sees the funny side even in the difficult moments. Integrity, character, ownership, leadership and relationship are key themes throughout.

I've made these outlets because I've struggled with fear of failure, anxiety and self-doubt, and would have loved to have had help from someone along the way. I want to be that help for others.

All the best,

-Grant Berardi
