Not Like Other Dads with Sean Szeps

Welcome to the final episode for 2024… And what an ep it is! In this lucky last conversation for the year, I had the absolute privilege of meeting one of my favourite content creators, the brilliant Sean Szeps. If you’re not already a fan – you soon will be. Sean is an American expat, author and a married father of twins who makes a living creating hilarious content on the (rude) realities of parenting. But in this conversation, I got to know the more serious side of Sean. The real Sean. Growing up in a religious family in New Hampshire, Sean’s early discovery that he might be gay was a terrifying prospect. This sparked the beginning of a deeply existential and extremely difficult period in Sean’s life, where he began to question everything. Sean has been through many difficult transitions in his life, but we go deep on the one that changed everything. We talked parenting and partnering, post-natal depression and mental health, and Sean left me with fresh ideas and insights on many aspects of family life, that we should all be pausing to consider. Sean shares all of this and more, but if you’d like to go even deeper, you must read his wonderful book Not Like Other Dads. You can find Sean on socials at @seanszeps. Connect with me at @thecuriouslifepodcast or @thedaysthatfollow and if you love this ep, please let us know with a rating or review on iTunes. It’s the only way we will get into new ears and keep the show growing. Have a happy and safe new year! A massive than you to our brilliant Editor and Audio Engineer @lukehensel and Voice Over artist extraordinaire Julie Reynolds of Audio Lemonade, who have worked right up until the very last moments on 2023, to bring you this episode. What a team!!
