Modern Day Fatherhood
The role of modern day fatherhood has been changing over the years. With the advent of urbanisation and digitisation of our children, today’s fathers are no longer always the traditional married breadwinner or the disciplinarian in the family. They could be a joint parent or a single parent. They could be the biological father or a father to someone else’s child. They could be the one going to work or the stay-at home father. With so many variances to modern day fatherhood there are also many variances to its problems too. On this episode we cover these issues and other challenges found in modern-day fatherhood.

Failing New Year’s Resolutions - Part 2
How do you feel when experiencing a failure or when you realise that you're failing on something that you set yourself out to achieve like a goal, a New Year's resolution?
By now 70-82% of people would have failed or are having a hard time with the goals they set for themselves in January. So on this episode we talk to a IT Director and a weight loss coach who are not unfamiliar with failing goals and discuss how to deal with these failures and explore what changes can be made to reset goals and New Year’s resolutions again.

Failing New Year’s Resolutions - Part 1
Many New Year’s resolutions fail (and other goals) and they fail due to multiple reasons. But the one particular reason that we discuss in this episode is when they fail as a result of us not reflecting back on the previous year. When a goal is not set with any reflection at all, it runs the risk of them being meaningless, unrealistic and even irrelevant sometimes, resulting in goals being set up for failure.
In this episode we discuss why and how New Year’s resolutions and other goals fail like this and see how we can revive and reset them again.
