#22 Dylan Buckley on his IVF journey with his wife and being a Dad
Description
Today we chat to the talented and down to earth; Dylan Buckley! (For those of you who don't know, Dylan is Demi's cousin!)
Dylan is a popular podcaster, author, owns a producing company and most importantly, a dad. Normally Dylan is the one doing the interviewing but today we were able to steal him away for a change of topic, sit him in our guest chair (in his studio) and chat about becoming a Dad and Dad life.
He opens up about his 2 year IVF journey sharing the frustrations, the hurt and the struggles to be positive and how him and his wife Justine dealt with it differently.
Dylan wears his heart on his sleeve and is described by everyone around him as a “very emotional guy” (which we can confirm as he tears up 4-5 times throughout the episode).
The road to meet his son Max, now 7 months, was a long one but he wouldn't change it as Max is now "his little mate for life" and he learnt so much in those years not only about the IVF world & the female body but also about himself and his wife Juzzy.
Dylan discusses his dads' battle with mental health and being an alcoholic, his own battle with anxiety and his outlook on life.
It was refreshing to hear a males perspective on IVF battle and fatherhood anxieties. We hope you love this chat as much as we did!
