Journalist and author Matt Blake joins Parents Who Think host Danusia Malina-Derben for a candid conversation about what it actually means to co-parent equally. Since his daughter was born, Matt has shared care 50/50 with her mother, through relationship shifts, career trade-offs, and a system that still assumes mothers carry the load.

Together, Matt and Danusia explore how parenting redefines ambition, what changes when men stop being treated as babysitters, and why the metrics of ‘success’ look very different when your week is split between deadlines and the school run. Matt shares his experience of being pushed to the sidelines by GP registration forms and playground assumptions and why he’s stayed committed to showing up, even when it means saying no to work.

This episode speaks to anyone reshaping the traditional script, whether you’re a father, a mother, or rethinking what family looks like in real life.
