#266 | CREATING CHANGE FOR FATHERS IN THE WORKPLACE | WITH JEREMY MACVEAN

Welcome Mama's and perhaps some Fathers, to this week’s episode of the Happy Mama Movement podcast.

This week’s guest is Jeremy Macvean who co-founded, ‘The Father Hood' which aims to build tribes of healthier, happier men through his work with Movember.

This week we discuss:

• The unacceptable pay gap between men and women, and exponentially as the ages increase and women hit motherhood.
• Non-birthing partners learning to pay REAL attention to their birthing partners to really know what is going on with the running of the household and to

be more than just an assistant.

• The deeper meaning of “Being a Provider” beyond simply being the breadwinner, and how it can change the dynamics of relationships and family life.
• Redefining our role and function in the family and finally getting past gender bias in this modern age.
• How Jeremy was made to see the reality of his situation through divorce and how getting 50% custody of his kids made him understand and appreciate the weight of motherhood and parenthood

and how men especially need to establish greater communication in their relationships to properly steer the family vessel.

I hope you find this conversation useful and if you do, please share it widely so mothers

everywhere can access the support and information they need to thrive.

JEREMY MACVEAN'S BIO: Jeremy Macvean breathed a sigh of relief when the teacher of his male-only antenatal class advised “To be a good dad, turn up and try”. So that’s what Jeremy has been doing ever since. Turning up to invest time and emotional energy into his three children in every way he can. Turning up to support and inspire modern dads through the organisation he co-founded, The Father Hood. Turning up to build tribes of healthier, happier men through his work with Movember. And through his advisory business, Radiate, turning up to share his strategy and communications experience with the likes of Peter Mac Cancer Centre, The Women’s Hospital and Telstra Health. Of every role Jeremy has ever played, fatherhood brings him by far the most joy, and is also by far the most challenging.
