Steve Bastoni is one of Australia’s most recognisable actors, but in this episode we’re talking about his role as husband and dad to three.


Steve opens up about overcoming addiction, being more than 17 years sober, supporting his wife through severe postnatal depression, and the impact these experiences had on him and his family.


We also chat about the pressure dads can feel to be “the strong one”, how fatherhood has shaped him, raising resilient kids, and how the simple words “Are you OK?” changed him.
