Podcast naBOSo

‘Táta na rodičovské’ shares his experience of caring for his son. He speaks openly about the challenges, stereotypes and joys this stage of life has brought him.

What happens when family roles are flipped and it’s dad who goes on parental leave? How do people around you react — family, friends, or strangers? And how does a man cope with full-time childcare when he’s usually surrounded by mums?

In today’s episode of the naBOSo podcast, we spoke with Matěj Červ, who openly shares life as a dad on parental leave on his Instagram profile @tata_na_rodicovske. He talks about how the decision to take parental leave came about, how the dynamics in their family changed, what was the hardest part, and what he would do differently today.

We’ll also touch on relationship balance, returning to work, sharing on social media — and of course barefoot shoes, which Matěj and his family have grown to love.

Get ready for an honest, inspiring and deeply human conversation about parenting that breaks stereotypes.
