Abstract

This week we have a slightly different inspirational story, different because it’s a man’s story. It’s sad that so few men are willing to speak out, and today I’m pleased to share Robin Hadley’s story. Robin was probably the first childless man in the UK to speak out and he did this on the back of writing a PhD on men and childlessness. We’ve spoken a few times on skype and Robin was part of this groundbreaking conversation, the first of men and women discussing childlessness. I’m looking forward to meeting him face to face at the Conference this weekend. I love the fact that Robin is ‘in a place he never thought he would be’ and I applaud his advice to Be kind to yourself wherever you are.’ great advice indeed.
