Episode 169: What We Do ‘For The Kids!’ Plus, Cool Dad Chris Kornelis

Episode 169

1st September 2016

Biz and Theresa talk about the things we do for our kids that we’d otherwise never do. Whether you’re an introvert spending Saturday socializing at a playdate, you’re someone with a balloon phobia blowing up balloons for your kid’s party because she HAD to have balloons, or you’re the least crafty person on earth but you wake up one morning in the middle of Michael’s with your five-year-old and a cart full of pinata-making materials — we’ve all pushed ourselves to do things for the sake of our kids. Do we gain from these experiences or are we losing ourselves in this process? Plus, Biz gets body-technical, Theresa ups her fashion game, and we talk to the delightful Chris Kornelis about his truly very cool new book, Rocking Fatherhood: The Dad-to-Be’s Guide to Staying Cool.
