Logan, founder of The Dad Business, joins me for an open conversation about identity, queer family building, and the many decisions, conversations, and experiences that have shaped his family’s journey.

Together, we explore Logan’s path from identifying as a lesbian when he met his wife to transitioning and embracing the role of “Dad” as they prepared to welcome their first child. We discuss navigating gender identity within a long-term relationship, what it means to build a family using a known donor, parenting six children, and the realities of raising neurodivergent children, including children with complex medical needs.

Logan also shares reflections on parenting alongside his wife following her late diagnosis of AuDHD, how their identities continue to evolve, and the importance of community, belonging, and creating a family that reflects their values rather than conventional expectations.

This conversation offers an honest look at modern family life, identity, and parenthood, while exploring the many ways people build loving, connected families on their own terms.

What if, instead of asking “Why can’t you just do it?”, we started asking “What might be making this hard right now?”In this episode, I’m joined by Nicola Reeke, founder of The PDA Space, for an honest conversation about PDA, neurodivergent family life, parenting differently and understanding the difference between capacity and capability.We chat about reducing demands, transitions, sensory overwhelm, body doubling, scaffolding, burnout, internalised ableism and the pressure to parent or live according to someone else’s expectations.A conversation about compassion, connection and finding what actually works for you and your family.

The PDA Space Global Online Summit. Nicola’s 2026 Global Online Summit takes place 1st–6th October, with this year’s theme Capacity & Capability and 27 free webinars bringing together voices from across the PDA community. Access the flyer here: PDA SPACE SUMMIT 2026

Together, they delve into how our personal histories shape our fears, defense mechanisms, and unique intersectional identities.From navigating the pressures of perfectionism and cultural conditioning to exploring the ever-evolving landscape of queer identity and gender diversity, this conversation shines a light on mental health challenges while offering a deep sense of hope. Jack and Jen discuss how our autonomic responses can sometimes stem from conditioned places of survival, and why learning to soften those rigid boundaries is essential for true connection.

Ultimately, this episode comes back to tuning into our intuition to live authentically alongside our fears. It is a reminder that we don’t need perfect certainty to move forward toward our goals, valued occupations, and identities. Tune in for an empowering discussion on listening to our bodies, embracing our inner multitudes, and safely taking steps toward a more values-based way of living.
