In this episode, we interview Paul Taylor. You may remember him and his wife Bec from Season One. Well – he is back! We are super lucky to hear from him again. Paul and Bec met in London, had an amazing, carefree, fun-filled time working jobs they loved, traveling, sleeping in, and genuinely living the dream. They moved home to Auckland and suddenly life came at them fast. They bought a house, got married, Paul lost his Dad to cancer, had a daughter, lost Bec’s Dad to a heart attack, moved in with Bec’s Mum ‘temporarily’, had a son, changed jobs 6 times, and neither of them can recall the last time they properly slept. Their focus quickly went from care-free fun to barely surviving and now they’re trying to bring fun back whilst also helping others to do the same.
Like all my conversations with Paul, it was generous and full of excellent observations.
- Letting go of perfectionism as a working dad and accepting that you won’t be able to the best version of yourself in all areas of your life.
- How Dad guilt is real and how it can feel weird talking about it.
- Being a co-pilot at home and how being an active caregiver can be a source of pride and make space for your partner.
- The importance of real talk with other dads and how it can help you feel less alone.
- Using his magic wand for rest for parents and better conversations with managers.
