Hayley Watkins: a colleague from the UK
I was recently introduced to Hayley Watkins by Jody Day, founder of Gateway Women (gateway-women.com). Haley and I had a heartfelt discussion about childlessness and grandchildlessness via a virtual meeting. Hayley is a certified counsellor who runs a discussion group via Zoom, the Cactus Childfree Discussion Group, for anyone who is childfree, childless, or undecided (often called "fence-sitters"). Please note that this discussion group is run from the UK, on the first Wednesday of every month at 7pm (London time). You can join by emailing Hayley at hello@cactuscounselling.co.
