  • Ep. 46 Is It Just Us Or...Do We Need To Hear From The Dads?! With Guest Stephen "Cowboy" Kelly
    Mar 25 2026

    We are delighted to have been joined for the first time by a dad and who better to represent than Stephen "Cowboy" Kelly. A father of 5, you may recognise Stephen from his role as "Cowboy Lavin" on the hit TV show "The Hardy Bucks" from social media or from the many sketches and comedy shows he performs in- but it's unlikely that you've heard him speak about parenting! Beyond the personality and presence, Stephen shares honestly about resilience, life lessons, setbacks, his health scares and being a dad. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!
