We're back and welcome to Season 4 of Dad Still Standing! We’re kicking off this season with an in-depth and personal look at self-awareness and self-perception in the aftermath of baby loss. In this episode, we (Matt and Liam) dive into how grief shapes the way we see ourselves versus how others perceive us. Have you ever felt that you’re projecting strength while battling all the shit going on inside? Or found yourself misunderstood by well-meaning friends and family? You’re not alone.
Join us as we discuss how to align these perceptions, practice self-awareness, and gently challenge the assumptions people may make about your grief journey.
We’ll share practical tips for journaling, therapy, and opening up to trusted people, as well as strategies for communicating your emotional reality without feeling obligated to explain everything. This episode is about honouring your feelings and finding balance in how you share them with the world.
It’s a powerful start to a new season that promises to continue offering support, insight, and encouragement for all parents navigating baby loss. Tune in for an honest conversation about the complex layers of grief and self-awareness plus all the usually shite we chat.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
