It was such an unexpected honor to be nominated and then to be chosen as World Childless Week People’s Champion. This recognition means so much because of what it represents and my hope is that it inspires others to find a way forward.
Our childless journey was unexpected, as it always is—we tried for a child and explored adoption, but sometimes the stars simply don’t align. That is just life, but with something of this magnitude, the ripples were far deeper than anything Bindi and I had experienced before. I’ve come to understand that this profound sense of loss is something all childless not by choice people feel at some stage.
What I discovered through this experience is that music became my anchor—it taught me that we create life through what we bring into the world, and supporting Bindi while connecting with others who share this path has shown me that sometimes our most important compositions aren’t musical notes, but the harmony we help restore in broken hearts. If our journey can light the way for even one person to find sunshine after the storm, then every moment of staying strong was worth it.
