Shaun is a male fertility advocate and coach. Having been diagnosed as infertile in 2018, he experienced not only the heartache attributed to this, but the shame and secrecy attached to being a man who cannot produce sperm. Shaun found himself navigating this trauma alone, with no support networks in place for men at the time. This impacted every aspect of his life, including work, as he dealt with the stress of undergoing fertility treatment in silence - too ashamed to tell his supervisors what he was going through. Shaun now shares his story (@Knackered_Knackers) to provide that voice that he so desperately needed. This has evolved to in-person support group meetings, and an online forum for men who need that connection when faced with fertility struggles. To further expand the service and support he can provide, Shaun is also now studying to become an accredited Transformational Coach.
