Listen to the last episode:
Dads play a special and key role in guiding and shaping their children. While being a father does have its joys and a sense of fulfilment, it is not without challenges – especially when it comes to balancing both work and family life.
If you are wondering, “How can I do it all?”, you are not alone.
In this episode, our host, Chong Ee Jay, is joined by Jimmy Sia, a tech professional and a proud & happy father of 3. He shares about the parenting approach that guides him in his fatherhood journey and provides practical tips on how to thrive at home and at work.
