Unnuclear

Welcome to Unnuclear! In this introductory episode, co-hosts Lou Keck and Shae Bolton-Brown open up about who they are, how they became family, and why they felt compelled to start this podcast.We explore the origins of our co-parenting relationship, what the first years of building a blended family has really looked like behind the scenes, and the challenges and unexpected gifts that have come with it. We also reflect on why the “nuclear family” narrative no longer reflects the reality for so many families today in Australia.Along the way, we introduce the purpose of Unnuclear: to normalise and celebrate the complexity of modern families, share lived experience, and bring in expert and community voices to help others feel less alone in their own co-parenting journeys.It’s honest, it’s imperfect, and it’s the beginning of a much bigger conversation.
