I live childless not by choice after my husband Matthew and I tried to grow our family for 11 years. That season of trying was full of despair and at points hope was lost. 

Since the latter part of 2019 we have made the conscious decision to live an intentional joy filled life. Not being a mum has been then hardest thing I have endured, but I know my mothers heart with empty arms is so needed in society. My story is not without storms, but it is filled with hope, and I remain committed to finding the joy in a story that I didn’t think would be mine.
