Have you heard of Storyhouse Chester?
I’ve been part of the focus group for this years event and there are some great discussions happending across the weekend. I declined the offer to lead one of the panels so that I can relax in the audience and socialise with old friends and new. If you are coming along and we’ve not yet met, please do come and say “hi”.

One thing I’m excited to add is that a World Childless Week submission from 2022 will be read out at one of the talks. I was asked to let the writer know and this is what she had to say:
Jen Maria & Chris Harris
I'm absolutely elated to see this message today. I forgot what it is like to be on Cloud 9.
Knowing that our collective words about our ongoing struggle of being a Childless Not By Choice (CNBC) couple will be read aloud is one thing. But knowing that our heart and soul will be 3,700 miles and an ocean away in Chester, UK is absolutely mind-blowing.
I see that this event highlights so many prominent authors, founders, and researchers for our very-tiny-community-that-nobody-wants-to-be-a-part-of and we're floored to be considered alongside these influential leaders. We'll finally be able to make a difference for someone while we're still on this Earth.
If you can’t make it to Storyhouse Childless, you can read Jen’s submission from 2022 HERE
