Two Childless Blokes Debate Stay-at-Home Parenting, How Liam’s Single-Parent Upbringing & Financial Reality Shatters the Dream: Part 1 on the Shared Minds Podcast
Shared Minds PodcastShow Notes
In this two-part crossover between The Shared Minds Podcast and Underqualified & Oversharing, we dive straight into a convo that had Liam proper fired up. It kicked off after he saw a video claiming every woman should be a stay-at-home mum and for someone who grew up in a single-parent home and watched the financial pressure firsthand, that hit on a whole different level. Part One is us pulling the curtain back on the real stay-at-home parent experience why it sounds like the dream, why so many people desperately wish they could do it, and why the financial world we’re actually living in makes it damn near impossible for most families. And if you want the full thing with all the nuance, rants, and chaos… the full video is now up on YouTube. Go check it out.

We're going quiet for a while. Liam's heading to Europe for a month, and Kirby's off to Japan for a few weeks, so there'll be a break between episodes. If you're wondering where we've gone, now you know. Before we disappear, we get into a few things we reckon just aren't fair, starting with celebrities who get egotistical, arrogant, and rude to their fans. Those fans are the people who put them where they are, so honestly? Pull your head in. Plus plenty more yapping along the way. Catch you when we're back!

Liam and Kirby sit down to talk about Liam’s recent experience trying to get back on his medication and the frustrating reality of navigating the mental health system all over again.

It’s an honest conversation about mental health, medication, the system, and the frustrations that come with trying to get the support you need.
