This might just be one of our most emotional episodes yet.

We’ve heard Ash’s sobriety story - the pain, the struggles and the voices in his head but today we hear from the person who was there through all of it: April.

From their binge-drinking teenage years, through their 20's and into parenthood, to Ash making the life-changing decision to give alcohol up in his 30's, April has had a front-row seat.

She opens up about what she did, what she didn’t do and what she’s learned about supporting someone through addiction without losing themselves in the process.

It’s a raw, honest and incredibly vulnerable conversation that gives us a whole new look at their relationship, built on love, trust, honesty and a whole lot of hope.

There are some seriously powerful takeaways about marriage, parenting, addiction and what it really means to stand beside someone when life gets hard.

We hope you love this one as much as we do.

If you need help with addiction you can call Lifeline on 1800 250 015 or you can find resources here.

Two Doting Dads is a podcast series that follows the parenting escapades of two good mates, Matty J and Ash Wicks. Like all good modern relationships, they met on Instagram and instantly bonded over the fact that they were both sleep-deprived Dads doing their best to dote over their two children. They share a very laid-back style to parenting, they don't pretend to be experts and they celebrate every single parenting mishap (which there are plenty). If you're listening for parenting advice, you've come to the wrong podcast.
