Ep 38: I Lost Myself After Kids... But I'm Finally BACK
This week got deep. After a rare night out clubbing (yes, actual clubbing), Sara has a bit of an emotional breakthrough… and ends up in tears on the podcast 😅
We dive into what it really feels like to lose your identity after having kids, the pressure mums face, and that moment you realise you’ve been running on empty for years. But it’s not all tears and tissues — we’re talking clubbing disasters, chicken fillets, fake IDs, and kids hijacking every corner of your life (even the sofa, fridge, AND front seat!)

Ep 37: The 3 Things We’d Actually Want Our Kids to Grow Up With
In this episode, Dean and Sara have a casual breakdown (the parenting kind) over the fact that their eldest is almost in high school. Cue the spiraling. We dive into the big question: if we could gift our kids three life skills or traits, genie-style, what would they be?
From emotional resilience to learning not to give a crap, we explore the serious skills wrapped in sarcasm that we wish someone had handed us on a silver platter before adulthood smacked us in the face. It’s honest, relatable, and full of the usual banter (and maybe some unfiltered regrets).
Whether your kids are toddlers or teens, you’ll laugh, nod, and maybe cry a little — but in a cool, emotionally-resilient way

Ep 36: Do You Even Look?! – Annoying Habits That Break Us
In this hilariously relatable episode of Fun Dad Dean & Wife: Unfiltered, Dean and Sara dive into the maddening world of irritating questions and baffling modern obsessions.
From the dreaded “Are we there yet?” on long drives to the daily frustration of deciding what’s for dinner, the duo vent about the small but mighty annoyances that every parent (and partner!) knows all too well.
Expect a raw, funny, and slightly savage breakdown of pointless questions, surprise house visits, ketchup-on-lasagna offenders, and things they just don’t get—like horror films, reality TV, and why anyone needs a personalised number plate. Unfiltered, unapologetic, and full of laughs!

Ep 35: Bullied for My Teeth — Now We’re Getting It Right for Our Kids (with Dr. Kunal Patel)
In this honest and eye-opening episode, Dean and Sara get real about a topic many parents quietly stress over: our kids’ teeth. Sara admits their 6-year-old just saw the dentist for the first time (oops), and Dean opens up about how his childhood nickname “Beaver” still stings thanks to some serious dental insecurities.
To break the cycle and get some actual answers, they’ve invited expert dentist Dr. Kunal Patel—who not only runs a chain of clinics called Love Teeth but also opened one with a surprising twist that caught Sara's eye. They ask him all the real parenting questions, like:
Are dummies/thumb-sucking really that bad?
When should we actually start brushing baby teeth?
What’s the deal with fluoride, sealants, and clear aligners?
And… is it really that awful if they eat a lollipop before bed just once in a while?
From TikTok dental myths to teenage whitening strip obsessions, this episode is full of practical advice, funny confessions (hello, Bacardi bottle party trick), and the one thing every parent should know to help their kids have great teeth for life.

Ep 34: Broken Toes & Broken Boundaries
This week on Fun Dad Dean & Wife: Unfiltered, Dean's nursing a busted toe and Sara’s not holding back on the mockery (spoiler: she still thinks childbirth wins). We dive into how parents should react when injured in front of kids—are you modelling calm or chaos?
Then we shift gears and tackle a big one: your child’s digital footprint. From oversharing online to AI dangers, school uniforms in photos, and the blurry line between memories and privacy—this episode is real, raw, and full of laughs (and a few uncomfortable truths)
