Listen "Too Much To Ask?"
Episode Synopsis
Too Much to Ask?When you're a dad of a child with a disability, asking for support at work can feel like walking a tightrope. In this episode, I share a personal story and perspectives about disclosing my family's needs in the workplace and how one employer said all the right things… until it got inconvenient.We’ll talk about:The silent stigma dads face in the workplaceWhat happens when “supportive” is just surface-levelThe emotional cost of hiding what's really going onThe very real legal protections you have as a carer under Australian lawAnd practical advice for other dads navigating work, disclosure, and advocacyThis one is for the dads quietly carrying the load, and wondering if telling the truth will cost them their job.
