About our guests:
Dan is a 31-year-old Dad from Hampshire, and co-parent to his beautiful four-year-old daughter Evie.

Dan started to share their journey together on social media in an honest, no-frills and candid way, to show other co-parents who are struggling with parental separation that they aren’t alone. He now has a substantial online following and is known as The Breaking Dad.
